This book explores how food shapes urban identity, through people and practices, and reflects the cultural and social experiences of urban gastronomy.

From streets to markets, from restaurants to home, Food Tourism in Urban Places is a way of experiencing cities, connecting with cultures and societies and participating in stories through places. Drawing on examples from around the world, including Uruguay, Italy, Japan, Georgia, Spain, South Africa, Denmark and New Zealand, this book combines multiple perspectives and theoretical drivers, from foodscapes and museums’ narratives to gastrodiplomacy and somaesthetics, slow food and regenerative tourism. It demonstrates how food tourism is both universal and locally specific, connecting tradition and innovation, and ordinary and extraordinary experiences as part of a dialogue between everyday life and tourism. Looking forward, this book highlights the importance of indigenous knowledge and sustainability for the future of urban food experiences. Drawing on food through visual, sensory and participatory methods, readers are invited to see, taste and feel the cities to discover how food becomes a language of communication, identity and transformation.

This book will be of great interest to students and scholars of food studies, gastronomy, hospitality and tourism, cultural anthropology, human geography and urban development. This book will also appeal to readers outside academia with an interest in food, tourism and urban culture.

The Food Tourist is an essential addition to the academic repertoire for researchers, educators, and professionals in the fields of tourism, hospitality, and gastronomy. Its innovative perspectives and unparalleled insights are sure to inspire new avenues of research and elevate the discourse surrounding food and beverage tourism.

The Food Tourist delves into the understanding of the food and beverage tourist as an established area of research and provides a comprehensive, holistic approach to the complexity of food tourist profiling as a new contribution to the field. The book is divided into fourteen chapters (including introduction and conclusion) that discuss the typologies of food tourists based on the understanding of tourists’ motivations and experiences. This is particularly relevant in the context of planning and development of destination attraction factors and the management and marketing of food experiences as a pathway to increase the competitiveness of destinations. These experiences are diverse, and encapsulate cultural and natural factors, engaging visitors with a place through its people and customs.

Editors Francesc Fusté-Forné and Erik Wolf explore the dietary and health needs of food tourists, and expand on previous research with a mixture of conceptual and empirical chapters written by leading academics and practitioners. The result is a detailed account of customer segmentation in food tourism research which has not been earlier explored in a single book.
