Culinary arts tourism refers to traveling primarily to experience the cuisine and culture of various destinations. It is a growing niche in the tourism industry where travelers seek authentic culinary experiences through interacting with local chefs, visiting food producers, learning about traditional cooking techniques and indigenous ingredients, and sampling diverse cuisines. Culinary arts tourism provides an opportunity for travelers to immerse themselves fully in the food culture of a place and understand the deep connections between what people eat and their history, traditions, values, and artistic expressions. It facilitates cultural exchange and helps promote lesser known regional cuisines and food producers globally.

However, seasonal variations in food production and inconsistent quality of culinary tours and classes pose challenges for the industry. The market sees opportunities from rising global tourism, increasing collaborations between hospitality businesses and culinary institutions, and emerging virtual and augmented reality technologies that can enhance remote culinary learning.
