Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
As food tourism has gained more visibility in recent years, so has sustainable tourism. Sustainable food tourism can contribute to the economic, social and environmental sustainability of places while potentially representing elements that increase those places’ attractiveness and competitiveness. Sustainable food tourism, despite the negative impact on the climate caused by tourism and travelling practices, is argued. This requires, however, the development well-designed sustainable food experiences. We need to redesign and rethink the very idea of the food experience with a particular focus on participation, the role of the consumer, the accessibility of the food design and the potential of local contexts. In that context, questions arise regarding dynamic forces such as global warming and consumer behaviour, which influence decisions that promote sustainability and innovation both in food production and tomorrow´s tourism. The aim of this Special Issue is to explore the role of sustainable food tourism within place marketing, branding and management. Contributions from potential authors that form a link between the complex and multifaceted tourism development processes whilst ensuring their sustainability are welcomed. Contributions can relate to sustainable tourism policies and their social, cultural, environmental and economic components. Inter- and multidisciplinarity research contributions are encouraged. The aim of this Special Issue is to explore the role of sustainability within place marketing, branding and management.
