Product & Business Development

Supporting Local Communities

Often, local communities are unaware of the richness of their cultural heritage and/or their uniqueness of their culinary foods, traditions, and practices.

However, these unique foods and methods of preparation and cooking are often tangible assets that can have enormous appeal to travellers seeking to explore, experience, and learn more about traditional heritage cooking and the accompanying lifestyles of local communities who have practiced these culinary skills down over generations.

Building Confidence and Capacity

Culinary Tourism that focuses on heritage cuisines has the potential to provide previously unattainable revenues and employment for communities who may never have considered or appreciated the uniqueness of the local environments and the potential this now has in the modern tourism era.

What is required is developing the capacity, know how, and confidence to share these experiences in new and exciting ways that have appeal and reassurance in the minds of culinary travellers, seeking new authentic experiences.

Teaching Skills, Unearthing Leaders

From local available food mapping, health and safety requirements and considerations, presentation and plating, participants learn the latest skills, insights, and culinary skills required to service today’s tourists. We equip emerging entrepreneurs to take the next step in building their own culinary and heritage cuisine tourism businesses, including by facilitating them to draw from their own rich culinary heritage.
