lifetime achievement
The Food Tourism Industry Lifetime Achievement Award from the World Food Travel Association is a prestigious recognition of our industry's most exceptional professionals.
About the award
The award was first introduced in 2020 to recognize exceptional individuals who have made profound, long-lasting contributions to the food and beverage tourism industry throughout their careers. Individuals are nominated by other industry professionals, judges review the applications, and then the Association’s leadership votes on a short list of potential winners. There is no fee to apply, nor are any fees payable by the winner.
