The "THEME" for 2024 is "A dish from your past."
With a nod to culinary tourism's close connection with culinary heritage, this year, we are asking people to share a favorite dish or recipe from your own culinary heritage - something from the past, maybe that was made by your grandmother or grandfather. Participating is easy and does not cost anything!
EVERY APRIL 18 - A REASON TO CELEBRATE LOCAL CUISINE
Every year on April 18th, we celebrate World Food Travel Day. We invite food- and beverage-loving travelers, the world’s travel and hospitality industries, and anyone else who is passionate about local food and drink, to join in and celebrate World Food Travel Day together. World Food Travel Day celebrates the reason to travel to experience our world’s culinary cultures. The Day first launched in 2018 and to bring awareness to both consumers and trade of the number 1 reason to travel - to try new food and beverage products and experiences. World Food Travel Day supports our Association’s mission – to preserve and promote culinary cultures through hospitality and tourism.
