If you are new to Culinary Tourism, you are obviously curious about our Association. What is the International Culinary Tourism Association and who is it run by? What kind of Programs and Services do we provide? What affiliated companies help support our missions and goals? What kind of clients and projects do we work on? The answers to your questions are part of your Discovery phase.

So you have learned a bit about the Association and our leadership in the culinary tourism industry. Now what do you do? Before anything else, you need a solid understanding of culinary tourism. How do we define it? How is culinary tourism the hottest new niche in tourism? How is it different from agritourism? How is culinary tourism much more than restaurant guides and restaurant week promotions? We have the tools to help you understand what culinary tourism is – and what it is not.
