Culinary Tourism Alliance
Our vision is to ensure that food tourism is a meaningful and sustainable contributor to local economies in destinations worldwide.
Bridging the gap between the food and drink, and travel industries, the Culinary Tourism Alliance works with communities to grow food tourism by leveraging the history, heritage, and culture behind the food and drink that makes each destination unique.
Operating as a not-for-profit food tourism development organization, our mandate is to:
Cultivate members and share their stories
Develop criteria-based accreditation for the foodservice industry to support local food systems
Provide strategic support to grow food and agritourism
Curate authentic content and experiences
The Culinary Tourism Alliance was established in 2006 to implement the 2005-2015 Ontario Culinary Tourism Strategy and Action Plan on behalf of the Ontario Ministry of Tourism, Culture & Sport. In 2011, we incorporated as a not-for-profit industry organization devoted to supporting the growth and development of food tourism worldwide.
