The Food Tourist is an essential addition to the academic repertoire for researchers, educators, and professionals in the fields of tourism, hospitality, and gastronomy.

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.
