Garber on Business: Can YOUR business benefit from the boom in Culinary Tourism?
Culinary tourism is a travel industry niche that focuses on the integration of food and drink with tourism. This niche market also fosters economic and community development and new intercultural insights.
Culinary tourism is classified under the subset of cultural tourism in which cuisine is a manifestation of culture and it can be found in rural or urban areas and should available to visit all year round.
Basically, culinary tourism promotes all distinctive and impressive gastronomic experiences. It is not pretentious or exclusive; it includes delis, cafes, even road-site stands where prepared food is sold.
Culinary Tourism is important for many reasons:
1. Nearly 100 per cent of tourists dine out when travelling; 2. Dining is consistently one of the top 3 favourite tourist activities; 3. The higher the total bill, the more likely the patrons are tourists; 4. High correlation between tourists who are interested in wine/cuisine and museums, shows, shopping, music and film festivals; 5. Culinary tourists are highly likely to participate in outdoor recreation; 6. Interest in culinary tourism spans to all age groups; 7. Cuisine is the only art form that speaks to all five senses; 8. Culinary tourists are "explorers;" 9. Culinary "attractions" available year-round; 10. Local cuisine is the number-one motivating factors in choosing a destination
Examples of Culinary Tourism:
Food or beverage that is not necessarily a "cuisine" but it must be unique and memorable. In short, culinary tourism is much more than just restaurants and wineries.
Here are some examples that would qualify as culinary tourism:
Cooking classes or workshops with your product, either in an urban or rural setting
Interesting tasting room at a winery, such as an old cave
A restaurant in the countryside that makes the best xxx
A beer that is so unique, people make a pilgrimage to the brewery at least once in their lifetime
A unique and memorable product from your orchard, farm or ranch.
A restaurant or eatery connected with your orchard, farm, or ranch that has an unique ambience

Leanne Hoagland-SmithAre your sales where you want them to be? Will you be one of the few who achieves sales or business success or one of the many who have failed to change? Are you tired of being told you are like everyone else? Then you may find my first book on sales of interest. Be the Red Jacket in the Sea of Gray Suits, The Keys to Unlocking Sales available at Amazon or at http://www.processspecialist.com/red-jacket.htm. This book is a reflection of my no-nonsense approach to improving sales to overall business results. If you are truly committed to making sustainable changes, then I can help you secure a positive return on your investment because I focus on executable solutions not telling you the problems you already know you have. From training to corporate (group) coaching to executive one on one coaching, my approach is to assess, create awareness, build a goal driven action plan and then execute. The bottom line question is "Not do you or your employees know it, but do you or they want to do it?" Please call for a free strategy session at 219.759.5601. - Visit Leanne Hoagland-Smith's Website |
