Overview of the special issue:

Food and beverage tourism enables appreciation of the culinary resources of a region offering the tourists an opportunity to become familiar with new and exciting flavors, textures, aromas, as well as perceiving the cultural and historical heritage of a place (Dixit, 2019). Hall and Mitchell (2001) indicate that food tourism can include visits to food producers, gastronomic festivals, food fairs, and events, restaurants, farmers’ markets, cooking shows and demonstrations, and specific food-related places, as well as tasting tours – activities that specifically offer culinary experiences. Food tourism due to its broad nature has a very diverse and multidisciplinary orientation in academic resources. The emergence of a large number of tourism destinations globally, local foods and beverages remain the key resources to market destinations successfully.

To facilitate an overview of the food tourism research, it is sensible to divide existing research into a food tourist, a producer, and a destination development perspective (Dixit, 2019). Food tourists are driven to indulge in food tourism activities because of their hedonic aspiration towards food consumption as the soul of food tourism lies in its ability to satisfy the emotional psychological and physical desires of the tourist. In terms of producers, a large variety of food producers caters to the experiential needs of food tourists, including hotels, restaurants, attractions, farmers’ markets, and food festivals. From the destination’s perspective, it is the tourist’s hedonic desires towards food that makes local food an important tourist attraction as any other attraction of a destination (Dixit, 2020). Due to its close connection to the natural and cultural traditions of a place, local food and meals are frequently used to place symbols that link up with a sense of authenticity. The local food, therefore, offers the destinations the branding potential to segregate them from other similar paces of tourists’ interest (Garibaldi, 2020).

Food tourism studies have been undertaken from a variety of disciplinary perspectives including economics, marketing, regional development, nutrition, economics, tourism, anthropology, psychology, and other social sciences. The existing literature on Food Tourism includes ‘management and marketing perspectives’ and ‘cultural and sociological perspectives’ (Dixit 2019). Therefore, the guest editors call for novel theoretical and empirical research that will enrich the body of knowledge especially in management and marketing paradigms of food and beverage tourism, by identifying emerging and future trends. The guest editors encourage the contributors from diverse disciplines to forward both conceptual, empirical, mix methods and applied research reflecting innovative and current approaches to the scrutiny of the theme. We encourage contributions from various disciplines as well as joint research works undertaken by the collaborative research teams. The submissions should explore the evolving scopes but not limited to the following topics:
