This Handbook on Food Tourism provides an overview of the past, present, and future of research traditions, perspectives, and concerns about the food tourism phenomenon. Taking a multidisciplinary approach, it contributes to the historical and anthropological understanding of the nexus between food, society, and tourism that underpins the divergent business and marketing efforts in tourism today.Expert contributors from across the globe not only explore the theoretical and conceptual foundations of food tourism research, but also address the significance of the multistakeholder nature of tourism in the context of food tourism development. Chapters present empirical research using quantitative and qualitative methods, conceptual papers and critical literature reviews employing archival research methods and informetric mapping, and analysis of secondary data from social, political, and environmental sources. Rich with information and data about diverse socio-cultural and environmental issues, this Handbook consolidates knowledge on the studies of food tourism from around the world and provides a vision for future research.Covering the breadth of food tourism research, this Handbook will be a fundamental reference work for researchers, academics, and students in tourism management, human geography, social and cultural geography, and business and management. It will similarly appeal to professionals, local authorities, and local food and tourism industries and businesses.
