OUR MANIFESTO

At the World Food Travel Association, we embrace the essence of each destination through its 'taste of place' - a rich tapestry woven with diverse flavors, culinary artistry, and enduring food and beverage traditions passed down over time.

We recognize that preserving culinary heritage extends beyond mere recipes and ingredients. It encompasses the profound narratives, cherished memories, and communal bonds that bind societies together.

Central to our ethos is the imperative to safeguard the distinctive culinary legacies and cultures that render each locale extraordinary.

We champion the endeavors of small-scale enterprises and visionary entrepreneurs who shape the gastronomic landscapes everywhere. They are the driving force behind our quest for culinary exploration. Without their innovation, our industry would cease to exist.

Together, let us honor artisans, family-owned eateries, chefs, street food maestros, and all others crafting unforgettable dining and imbibing adventures.

In this pursuit, we uphold the rights of all individuals, embracing diversity and inclusion to advance our industry's enrichment.

Moreover, we guide industry professionals in adopting eco-friendly practices, ensuring the preservation of our culinary lineage for generations ahead.

Collectively, we aim to transform every journey, every morsel, and every sip into a lasting memory for visitors.

Through collaboration, education, and unwavering support, we strive to foster a world that reveres and safeguards its culinary heritage for the prosperity of future generations.
