Food Tourism Sparks Economic Development
Food Tourism has proven to be an important economic development strategy.
Farmers' markets, specialty food markets, restaurants and accommodation providers create a sense of place, as l
ocal food and drink provides an authentic "taste of place".
Food service is the highest category of travel spending according to the University of Florida report: "A Flash of Culinary Tourism." This report estimates that 39 million U.S. leisure travelers choose a destination based on the availability of culinary activities.
In 2012, it was estimated that tourism expenditures on food services in the U.S. topped $201 billion, nearly a quarter of all travel income.
Recent trends include hyper-local cuisine, cultural context, pop-up restaurants, and hands-on food experiences. Foodies travel to find unique local offerings whether it's an unusual craft beer, a winery tour
, food festival, farmers market or food truck cuisine.
The food industry is diverse, ranging from growers, processors and distributors to sellers.
This is a great opportunity to enhance and promote local food assets which allows for both visitors and locals to share experiences, form relationships, create community and for local communities to increase tax revenue.

Guerilla Revitalization Part II
In Part II of Guerilla Revitalization, we look at tactics used by small towns and cities with a keen sense of creativity and modest budget.
These ideas help citizens not only envision a more vibrant downtown but experience it as well. They can attract tourists and help government quickly implement new ideas. Pop- up cafes, food trucks and bicycle vendors are just some of the quickly growing food related ventures. The experience economy is growing as we move from the agricultural economy of the past. This combines combines retail and entertainment to create consumer experiences and lasting memories.
