Coming December 9: Working with Government Offices to Develop Food Tourism
Join us on Tuesday, December 9 as we talk with John Mulcahy, a Food Tourism Industry Expert, and the key architect of Ireland’s food tourism strategy, about how to work with government offices to develop food tourism in your area. This session is a must for destination marketers, governments, city planners, business improvement districts or any other organization or person involved in connecting local stakeholders and planning officials in the development of food and beverage tourism.
Originally a hotel management graduate, John gained international hospitality experience in hotels, fine dining, gastropubs, hotel schools, UN peacekeeping, and offshore catering. Subsequently, John had senior roles with the Irish National Tourism Development Authority over 17 years, culminating in responsibility for statutory tourist accommodation standards, food tourism development, and hospitality education. Concurrently, John gained an MA (Gastronomy), an MSc (Hospitality Management), and the WSET Diploma in Wine & Spirits. Having left Failte Ireland in 2017, John now helps stakeholders understand how critical the nexus of Food, Tourism, & Hospitality Education is to their success, and contributes to publications and conferences regularly.
