This book challenges readers to look beyond the traditional food tourism approaches and offers a complete analysis of gastronomy tourism, from its roots to its impact on contemporary societies, including its media resonance. It is a well-researched and inventive book that provides a clear and concise overview for both academics and students interested in this increasingly attractive topic. Isabelle Frochot, Universite Savoie Mont Blanc, France; This book is a 15 course feast that explores the multifaceted and complex relationship between gastronomy, tourism and the media. The authors have excelled in presenting a thought provoking and rich picture of how gastronomy is one of the key motivators for travel and how traditional and modern media have supported, encouraged and developed tourists' fascination with a destination's food offering.
