World Food Travel Day 2022

Apr 03, 2022

As you may know (and if you don’t, welcome aboard!), this is our fourth year celebrating World Food Travel Day. It’s a day that celebrates traveling to experience our wonderful world’s many culinary cultures. It’s aimed at food-loving travelers, as well as the world’s travel and hospitality industries, and anyone with a passion for food or travel (or both) is welcome to join!

Food is something we share sometimes at home around the table with family, or even with travel buddies in a new place. Culture is an essential part of travel, and is an experience shared by fellow travelers. Stories and food are similar in that way, something meant to be shared with others. In that same spirit, April 18 is a way to share stories of meals we have loved and food and beverage that we have experienced during our travels.

Join the movement by uploading a picture or post with the hashtag #WorldFoodTravelDay. You can find out more about the special day here.

In this episode number 67 of The Business of Food Travel podcast, we speak with Rico Mandel. In 2001, when the dotcom bubble burst and then September 11 hit, Rico's marketing business collapsed. After some soul searching, he decided to enroll in culinary school, an experience that changed his life. He worked in restaurants and catering, while building his contact networks and continuing marketing work in the hospitality industry. This eventually led him to create Miz En Place, an ecommerce platform that delves into the world of gastronomy through artisanal food and beverage products, experiences, and stories.
