Our Area Representatives support our goal to preserve and promote culinary cultures through hospitality and tourism. They play an important role as connections between our Association and destinations around the world. Representatives are passionate about spreading the awareness and visibility of their local culinary culture to the rest of the world. They work hard to foster collaborations and identify impactful synergies between the private and public sectors within their destination and our organization.
There are two kinds of representatives. First are Ambassadors, who have at least 10 years' work experience and who maintain a more formal and structured relationship with our Association. Second are Attaches, who have a less formal relationship and who help in different ways. Both are professionals committed to the culinary tourism industry and who want to see positive change in their destination. Either role gives you visibility, both locally in your destination and in our global community.
