Guests to Get a Taste of Food Tourism at WTM London


Attendees at this year’s WTM London will hear food tourism experts explain how destinations around the globe can benefit from the current interest in culinary travel experiences. A global survey of 50,000 travellers from Booking.com found that more than six in ten choose a destination for its great food or drink and that more than a third plan to take a dedicated food tourism trip sometime in 2018. Erik Wolf, founder of The World Food Travel Association, is moderating three sessions covering many aspects of a diverse and evolving sector. Food Tourism 2025: What You Need to Know Now will take a detailed look at how food tourism will develop in the medium term. Destinations looking to grow their existing footprint or enter the market need to think ahead and ensure standards are set. The session will also look at controversial issues such as the connection between food tourism and overtourism, and growing concern over food waste and plastic. Speakers at the session are: Roberta Garibaldi, Professor, Marketing and Tourism Management University of Bergamo, Italy; Patrick Torrent, Executive Director, Catalan Tourist Board; Maria Athanasopoulou, Owner, Respond On Demand marketing agency; and Udi Goldschmidt CEO Jerusalem Culinary Institute. This session takes place on Tuesday 6 November from 10:30 - 11:45 in Platinum Suite 3. The specific issue of sustainability in food tourism will be considered in a session with Clare Jenkinson, Senior Destinations and Sustainability Manager ABTA. The one-on-one interview will look at the successes of ABTA’s initiatives across many aspects of sustainability and how the lessons learnt can help the food tourism industry. This session takes place on Wednesday 7 November from 14:00 – 14:30 in the UKI & International Inspiration Zone (TA190). Many destinations have a local cuisine, but the kingdom of Jordan has incorporated food into its culture through the practice of karam – welcoming guests and even strangers with food and drinks. Dr Abed Al Razzaq Arabiyat, Managing Director Jordan Tourism Board will talk about how this creates a positive impact on visitors and how other destinations can use this approach to inspire their own food tourism culture. This session takes place on Wednesday 7 Nov 2018 from 15:30 - 16:00 in the Middle East & Africa Inspiration Zone (AF190).

Wow! Stunning! Hilton seems to be taking Africa by storm. Just a couple of years back, they opened the first ever in Eswatini.

Thank you for sharing such a detailed review about ethiopian airlines in your post. I am an avid traveller and keep reading flight reviews to assess the options available. Your review particularly drew my attention because you have shared so many pictures to capture every aspect of the flight experience. It is a very nice effort.

I am really tempted to book the next ethiopian airlines ticket and relive your journey. The pictures shared with the post also reflect that you truly enjoyed the travel. Great post! I also like the fact that you have covered nuances about the food and entertainment service through the pictures. It helps people know what to expect on their travel by this airline.
