Abstract
This book examines the past, present and future of food tourism, focusing on how history shapes the present and, based on this, what the future could be. It explores the changes the future will bring, focusing on the food supply chain, policy responses and the nature of food service experiences. The book provides an open-minded visionary approach to the future and at the same time provides analytical commentary that explains how change is occurring. With a systematic and pattern-based approach, this book examines the implications for the future of food tourism, analyses key issues and concepts, and highlights future research avenues. This book is primarily aimed at postgraduate students and researchers in the field of tourism studies.
