Food has always been a component of the travel industry, not only as a physical necessity, but it provides the tourist with the opportunity to spread the word about unique offerings from their destination of origin. Culinary Food and Wine Travellers are more likely to take local food and wine back home. At each destination, food is the primary experience sought and the preparation, consumption, and even the viewing of a foreign dish can give the tourist a sense of otherness and the exotic. Culinary Food and Wine travel offers a tangible, knowledgeable base from which other facets of culture - history, religion, artistic traditions and customs can be understood and experienced.
