2019 World Food Travel Day

22 April 2019

On April 18, 2019, the World Food Travel Association,  along with our various partners around the world,  celebrated the very first World Food Travel Day.

Another first for our industry, World Food Travel Day is a full day dedicated to help preserve, promote and celebrate our world’s unique culinary cultures. We would like to acknowledge and thank all of the individuals, organizations and destinations around the world that participated to make the first World Food Travel Day such a huge success.

The campaign garnered more than 2,000 impressions on Google, across 15 different countries and in 4 continents. And the mentions are still coming in!

If we don’t take the steps to preserve our local culinary cultures, who will? We hope to see you for the next World Food Travel Day taking place on April 18, 2020!.
