Inspiration hade fångats tidigare för det ideala. Dessa hjälpte mig i utforskningen av en brainstorm där jag fann några ideala koncept för området. 2 koncept skissades ut för att sedan testas med persona och scenario. Det som jag fann och kommer ta med mig i det framtida arbetet är hur man bör försjunkas in i den kultur där man reser, där man kan ta del av den lokala maten som en riktig lokal person.

# data[].attributes.body
Efter sökningen utfördes brainstorming för att fånga koncept, samt värdera och skissa koncept, de värderade koncepten testades även i persona och scenario. Det viktigaste jag fick ut från detta är hur AR kan användas till att förstärka aspekter av en upplevelse. I Den framtida tjänst som ska formas vill jag inkludera AR, men inte ha en tjänst som endast eller främst består utav AR.

# data[].attributes.body
Efter denna utforskningen gjorde jag en brainstorm, där de koncept som ansågs mest intressanta sattes i test i form av en persona och scenario. Detta gav lärdomar i hur man kan komma i kontakt med den lokala maten, att t.ex. slumpa igenom lokala maträtter så blir det ett mer spelaktigt moment till hela upplevelsen, där man även kanske inte hamnar i det som man är bekväm i, samt att det kanske skulle motverka dilemmat att skapa oönskad trafik till en viss restaurang. Men även hur den lokala befolkningen kan inkluderas i en tjänst, där de skulle kunna möjligtvis tjäna på det, detta skulle minska tourism läckage ännu mer.

food tourism focuses on culinary experience—food and drink that are locally sourced, rather than mere sightseeing. According to the Ontario Culinary Tourism Alliance (OCTA), culinary tourism refers to “any tourism experience in which one learns about, appreciates, and/or consumes food and drink that reflects the local, regional, or national cuisine, heritage, culture, tradition or culinary techniques”. The concept suggests people pursue a memorable food or drink experience by developing a better understanding and/or consuming local food or drink with the essence of culture in them.

Local food is food that is produced within a short distance of where it is consumed, often accompanied by a social structure and supply chain different from the large-scale supermarket system.

Local food (or "locavore") movements aim to connect food producers and consumers in the same geographic region, to develop more self-reliant and resilient food networks; improve local economies; or to affect the health, environment, community, or society of a particular place. The term has also been extended to include not only the geographic location of supplier and consumer but can also be "defined in terms of social and supply chain characteristics." For example, local food initiatives often promote sustainable and organic farming practices, although these are not explicitly related to the geographic proximity of producer and consumer.

Local food represents an alternative to the global food model, which often sees food traveling long distances before it reaches the consumer.

In the USA, the local food movement has been traced to the Agricultural Adjustment Act of 1933, which spawned agricultural subsidies and price supports. The contemporary American movement can be traced back to proposed resolutions to the Society for Nutrition Education's 1981 guidelines. In 1994, Chicago pop culture made local food a trend in the Midwest. These largely unsuccessful resolutions encouraged increased local production to slow farmland loss. The program described "sustainable diets" - a term then new to the American public. At the time, the resolutions were met with strong criticism from pro-business institutions, but have had a strong resurgence of backing since 2000.

In 2008, the United States farm bill was revised to emphasise nutrition: "it provides low-income seniors with vouchers for use at local produce markets, and it added more than $1 billion to the fresh fruit and vegetable program, which serves healthy snacks to 3 million low-income children in schools".

No single definition of local food systems exists. The geographic distances between production and consumption varies within the movement. However, the general public recognizes that "local" describes the marketing arrangement (e.g. farmers selling directly to consumers at regional farmers' markets or to schools). Definitions can be based on political or geographic boundaries, or on food miles. The American Food, Conservation, and Energy Act of 2008 states that:

(I) the locality or region in which the final product is marketed, so that the total distance that the product is transported is less than 400 miles from the origin of the product; or
(II) the State in which the product is produced.

In May 2010 the USDA acknowledged this definition in an informational leaflet.

State definitions of "local" can be included in laws, statutes, regulations, or program materials, however few state laws explicitly define "local" food. Most states use "local" (or similar words like "native") in food procurement and marketing policies to mean that the food was produced within that state.

The concept of "local" is also seen in terms of ecology, where food production is considered from the perspective of a basic ecological unit defined by its climate, soil, watershed, species and local agrisystems, a unit also called an ecoregion or a foodshed. Similar to watersheds, foodsheds follow the process of where food comes from and where it ends up.

In America, local food sales were worth $1.2 billion in 2007, more than doubled from $551 million in 1997. There were 5,274 farmers' markets in 2009, compared to 2,756 in 1998. In 2005, there were 1,144 community-supported agriculture organizations (CSAs). There were 2,095 farm to school programs in 2009. Using metrics such as these, a Vermont-based farm and food advocacy organization, Strolling of the Heifers, publishes the annual Locavore Index, a ranking of the 50 U.S. states plus Puerto Rico and the District of Columbia. In the 2016 Index, the three top-ranking states were Vermont, Maine and Oregon, while the three lowest-ranking states were Nevada, Texas and Florida.

Websites now exist that aim to connect people to local food growers. They often include a map where fruit and vegetable growers can pinpoint their location and advertise their produce.

Supermarket chains also participate in the local food scene. In 2008 Walmart announced plans to invest $400 million in locally grown produce. Other chains, like Wegman's (a 71-store chain across the northeast), have long cooperated with the local food movement. A recent study led by economist Miguel Gomez found that the supermarket supply chain often did much better in terms of food miles and fuel consumption for each pound compared to farmers markets.

Local food campaigns have been successful in supporting small local farmers. After declining for more than a century, the number of small farms increased 20% in the six years to 2008, to 1.2 million, according to the Agriculture Department.

Launched in 2009, North Carolina's 10% local food campaign is aimed at stimulating economic development, creating jobs and promoting the state's agricultural offerings. The campaign is a partnership between The Center for Environmental Farming Systems (CEFS), with support from N.C. Cooperative Extension and the Golden LEAF Foundation.

In 2017, a campaign was started in Virginia by the Common Grains Alliance mirroring many of the efforts of the North Carolina campaign.

Motivations for eating local food include healthier food, environmental benefits, and economic or community benefits. Many local farmers, whom locavores turn to for their source of food, use the crop rotation method when producing their organic crops. This method not only aids in reducing the use of pesticides and pollutants, but also keeps the soil in good condition rather than depleting it. Locavores seek out farmers close to where they live, and this significantly reduces the amount of travel time required for food to get from farm to table. Reducing the travel time makes it possible to transport the crops while they are still fresh, without using chemical preservatives. The combination of local farming techniques and short travel distances makes the food consumed more likely to be fresh, an added benefit.

Local eating can support public objectives. It can promote community interaction by fostering relationships between farmers and consumers. Farmers' markets can inspire more sociable behavior, encouraging shoppers to visit in groups. 75% of shoppers at farmers' markets arrived in groups compared to 16% of shoppers at supermarkets. At farmers' markets, 63% had an interaction with a fellow shopper, and 42% had an interaction with an employee or farmer. More affluent areas tend to have at least some access to local, organic food, whereas low-income communities, which in America often have African American and Hispanic populations, may have little or none, and "are often replete with calorie-dense, low-quality food options", adding to the obesity crisis.

Local foods require less energy to store and transport, possibly reducing greenhouse gas emissions.

Farmers markets create local jobs. In a study in Iowa (Hood 2010), the introduction of 152 farmers' markets created 576 jobs, a $59.4 million increase in output, and a $17.8 million increase in income.

Since local foods travel a shorter distance and are often sold directly from producer to consumer, they may not require as much processing or packaging as other foods that need to be transported over long distances. If they are not processed, they may contain fewer added sugars or preservatives. The term "local" is sometimes synonymous with sustainable or organic practices, which can also arguably provide added health benefits.

Critics of the local foods movement question the fundamental principles behind the push to eat locally. For example, the concept that fewer "food miles" translates to a more sustainable meal has not been supported by major scientific studies. According to a study conducted at Lincoln University in New Zealand: "As a concept, food miles has gained some traction with the popular press and certain groups overseas. However, this debate which only includes the distance food travels is spurious as it does not consider total energy use especially in the production of the product." The locavore movement has been criticized by Dr. Vasile Stănescu, the co-senior editor of the Critical Animal Studies book series, as being idealistic and for not actually achieving the environmental benefits of the claim that the reduced food miles decrease the number of gasses emitted. Studies have shown that the amount of gasses saved by local transportation while existing, does not have a significant enough impact to consider it a benefit. Food miles concept does not consider agriculture, which is having contributed the highest when it comes to greenhouse gas emissions. Plus, season and transportation medium also makes a difference.

The only study to date that directly focuses on whether or not a local diet is more helpful in reducing greenhouse gases was conducted by Christopher L. Weber and H. Scott Matthews at Carnegie-Mellon. They concluded that "dietary shift can be a more effective means of lowering an average household's food-related climate footprint than 'buying local'". However, a 2022 study suggests global food miles CO ₂ emissions are 3.5-7.5 times higher than previously estimated, with transport accounting for about 19% of total food-system emissions, albeit shifting towards plant-based diets remains substantially more important. Because[verification needed ] of such a shift being needed (mainly for climate change mitigation) and because[verification needed ] the transport of vegetables, fruits, cereal and flour make up the largest share of the emissions, the study concludes that "a shift towards plant-based foods must be coupled with more locally produced items, mainly in affluent countries".

Numerous studies have shown that locally and sustainably grown foods release more greenhouse gases than food made in factory farms. The "Land Degradation" section of the United Nations report Livestock's Long Shadow concludes that " Intensification - in terms of increased productivity both in livestock production and in feed crop agriculture - can reduce greenhouse gas emissions from deforestation". Nathan Pelletier of Dalhousie University in Halifax, Nova Scotia found that cattle raised on open pastures release 50% more greenhouse gas emissions than cattle raised in factory farms. Adrian Williams of Cranfield University in England found that free range and organic raised chickens have a 20% greater impact on global warming than chickens raised in factory farm conditions, and organic egg production had a 14% higher impact on the climate than factory farm egg production.[citation needed ] Studies such as Christopher Weber's report on food miles have shown that the total amount of greenhouse gas emissions in production far outweighs those in transportation, which implies that locally grown food is actually worse for the environment than food made in factory farms.

While locavorism has been promoted as a feasible alternative to modern food production, some believe it might negatively affect the efficiency of production. As technological advances have influenced the amount of output of farms, the productivity of farmers has skyrocketed in the last 70 years. These latter criticisms combine with deeper concerns of food safety, cited on the lines of the historical pattern of economic or food safety inefficiencies of subsistence farming which form the topic of the book The Locavore's Dilemma by geographer Pierre Desrochers and public policy scholar Hiroko Shimizu.

Discovering the local foods of a region is a huge part of travel for most of us, but it isn't always so easy. If you stick to the main tourist strip you will more than likely find yourself eating western favourites and watered down versions of local classics. Discovering local foods as you travel requires a little bit of planning and foresight to get the best out of what could be limited time.

Where To Find Local Foods While Travelling

It's a shame to miss out on local foods, so dig deeper, get out there and discover the food wonders that all countries have to offer. Never write off a country as "not a foodie destination" there is always something new to find.

Find the Local Food Market.

A slice of local life. Where do the locals shop? What do they buy?

Fresh seasonal produce and snack foods at locals prices will save you money over restaurant meals.

See what grows locally and what's in season. You'll often discover fruits and vegetables you've never seen or heard of before.

Local markets often have hot read-made dishes for you to enjoy, it's not just Thailand that offers amazing street food.

If you're shopping for presents for those back home, an authentic local food gift will be cheaper at the local market.

Nat Geo gives us the Top 10 Food Markets around the world. I'm glad to see my favourite, London's Borough Market, made the list.

Visit Local Stores and Supermarkets

Even if you're not self catering, take the time to explore the local shops and larger supermarkets. These outlets are a window into another country's way of life. See if they eat peanut butter, cereal or other processed foods that are normal in your home country then see what new offerings you can find.

In Romania we found such unusual delights as pickled watermelon and biscuit spread, along with stunning selections of cured meats.

Take a Look at the Farms and Harbours

See what's growing and, in the soil and in the fields and find out what the fishermen are bringing to shore. If you're very lucky you may find fish and shellfish straight from the boats, cooked ( or not!) and ready to eat.

You'll never find fish fresher.

Take a Cookery Course or Class

Learning local techniques from a local cook or chef is always a fantastic experience.

Sometimes you'll find purpose built cooking schools, other times you can take a class in somebody's home kitchen. The latter is always far more of an eye opener.

One of our best experiences this year was a Goan cookery class in a village home.

You'll find these everywhere these days, Kuala Lumpur, London, Rome, you name it, their's a food tour.

I have to be honest, I've never taken one, their schedules don't fit with family life, but I hear great things.

Eat Where The Locals Eat

Avoid the tourist restaurants and fast food joints, you can eat that stuff at home. Walk a few streets back from the beach or main drag and see what you can find. You'll find the most authentic food in the places the locals eat, but even if those places are thin on the ground, avoiding the big chain restaurants and foreign owned establishments will give you a better eating experience and put your money in the more deserving pockets.

As you wander around residential areas have a look to see what the locals are growing. Not only does this give you a good idea of seasonality, it tells you what the local cooks use at home, which herbs, vegetables and fruits.

Travel is wonderful and exploring local foods adds a whole new dimension to your trip. For me, as a professional chef, discovering local dishes, produce and techniques has also been a key part of my professional development.

So what are you waiting for, get out there and start eating!

During my time living in Taiwan, feta cheese, chickpeas and couscous were luxuries that couldn't be picked up from just any local supermarket. There were far fewer imported goods than what you would see on the shelves of your average UK supermarket, and you couldn't get fruits or vegetables when they weren't in season.

At first, I thought this was awful. I wanted to eat dragon fruit all year round! Then, one of our Taiwanese friends said to me: "The earth provides what the body needs at the time it needs it. In the winter, when you need warmth, ginger grows. In the summer, when the weather is hot, watermelons are everywhere."

I came to realise that eating and buying seasonal, locally grown food was much better. Not only when living at home, but also when travelling.

Experiencing the local culture is a huge part of travelling and trying traditional food is largely connected with that cultural experience. Visitors to the UK always want to eat fish and chips, Vietnamese pho is the big pull for travellers in Vietnam, and here in Costa Rica it's all about gallo pinto.

Traditional foods are part of a country's heritage and are strongly rooted within the memories of the local people. One of my childhood fondest childhood memories of growing up in the UK is eating piping hot fish and chips wet with vinegar on the stormy seafront, while flecks of cold rain hit against my cheeks. Here in Costa Rica, you won't meet a tico who doesn't know how to cook gallo pinto, a dish that has passed through generations. It's the same all over the world and trying traditional foods is a good way to taste a small part of that culture.

Supporting the local community is a really important aspect of travel. You can go anywhere in the world and walk into a McDonalds, but instead of benefiting the local community, a large chunk of what you've just spent is leaving the local economy. In places where tourism is booming and the demand for Western and fast food is high, local food will become less and less prevalent. These kinds of issues mean that local people in countries across the world are rightfully dubious about tourists and how much good they really do for their home country.

Opting to drink coffee in a local café, snack on street food or have lunch in a local eatery is a simple way to be a socially responsible tourist. Eating in local places supports local businesses and the local economy, and it also builds connections between the local people and travellers. Travellers only staying in one place for a couple of days might think that it's too short a time to build any relationships, but where you eat will constitute part of the local community's perception of tourists and sometimes even nationalities as a whole.

Flying food across the world means a bigger carbon footprint. The average distance our food travels is 1500 miles, and when you start adding that up it's a lot of energy. Locally grown food doesn't have half as far to travel and you can usually find local farmers who use sustainable farming methods. Buying locally also means supporting the farmland and green spaces in that area, whether you're at home or travelling. While we've been house sitting in Costa Rica, Luke and I have been buying as much of our food as possible from local farmer's markets, the local baker and even the neighbours of our house sitters - it definitely doesn't travel half as far as we do.

There is no denying that when your food hasn't had to travel half way around the world, it's much fresher. Fruit and vegetables that have been for days in the back of a truck aren't going to taste like the ones dug up from the allotment down the road. When you travel, you won't always know which foods are locally grown, but buying from local businesses and markets instead of the chain supermarkets is a good place to start.

Local food is also seasonal, and seasonal food tastes better too. Think about eating a ripe tomato in the summer, bursting with flavour. Compare that to a tomato eaten in the winter, which sometimes just tastes weak and watery. Eating seasonal food is also great because it supports our body's natural balance. In summer, watermelon, cucumber and courgettes help to cool the body. In colder months, antioxidant-rich root vegetables are harvested; these keep us warm and protect us from illness.

Eating local when you travel...

Before this year, I'd never eaten a rambutan, a chayote or a yuca. If I hadn't been eating local food, I never would have either. Local foods are different everywhere you travel, they grow depending on the climate and seasonal changes of that country, and there is always something new waiting to be discovered.
Do you eat local when you travel? What are the most awesome foods you've discovered?

The Importance of Eating Local When You Travel

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.description
During my time living in Taiwan, feta cheese, chickpeas and couscous were luxuries that couldn't be picked up from just any local supermarket. There were far fewer imported goods than what you would see on the shelves of your average UK supermarket, and you couldn't get fruits or vegetables when they weren't in season.

Have you ever wondered what the food you eat everyday can tell you about where you come from? Have you ever wondered why people from different parts of the world eat different types of food? Do you ever ask yourself why certain foods or culinary traditions are so important to your culture?

In a world of growing air connectivity, where it has never been easier for the discerning traveller to choose their holiday destination, competition is fierce.

Into the mix is the changing tastes of visitors.

The so-called "Instagram generation" are seeking a visitor experience that is both immersive and unique - and in particular, one that can be captured on camera and broadcast to the delight (and envy!) of their social media followers.

However, in amongst all of this, one word is key - authenticity.

Consumers are searching for authentic experiences and the ability to immerse themselves in the local culture. They are looking to combine the traditional tourism experience with something special that takes them off the beaten track.

Our Insight team have highlighted this trend for several years. But what is meant by true authenticity, when the word itself is a fluid concept and subject to individual interpretation?

To one person it is the rural landscape, traditional music and heritage; to others it is contemporary urban culture and multi-ethnicity which defines modern living.

For Scotland it could be the well-known icons such as castles, lochs and Highland vistas or the contemporary shopping experience of Glasgow, Edinburgh's international festivals and surfing off Tiree.

We need to consider that 'authentic' experiences are being developed within the minds of visitors before they even arrive at a destination. In particular, there is a real desire for honest authenticity - whether it be discovering real customs or interacting with locals.

Food and drink, particularly access to local produce, is an important element of the visitor experience - indeed, our research shows that three quarters of international visitors try local food and drink on their trip - especially in conveying this sense of authenticity.

At the heart of it all, however, is the connection with real people - and to this end, the industry is already adapting.

Just look at home-sharing hospitality platform, Airbnb, which debuted its 'experiences' range in 2016, whereby hosts can share their passions and interests with visitors from around the world

This year the company brought this new addition to Scotland with Edinburgh - the first UK destination outside of London - hosting experiences, which range from kayaking with Scottish wildlife to making shortbread with a professional baker and learning to cook with a top food blogger.

Last year VisitScotland embarked on its own ambitious project to convey that authenticity.

Scotland: Life brings together social media influencers with real Scottish people.

Social media influencers have been getting a true insight into what it is really like to live, work, study and play in Scotland through the eyes of the people that have made the country their home - from a scallop diver in Mull to parkour athletes in Edinburgh, Harry Potter fans to an Outlander herbalist.

See one of the videos here: https://youtu.be/oPw34_uPRNI

Each social media influencer spends one to two days with their Scottish local and is encouraged to shadow them in their activities. For the rest of their time in Scotland, they complete an itinerary associated with their interests in different regions across the country.

It comes as research shows the strength of social media influencers and their power to drive conversations and engagement as well as deliver inspiring content, with many millennials trusting influencers nearly as much as they trust their friends and family.

This approach has proved popular, with 27 pioneering videos, co-produced with US and UK social media influencers, having been watched 13 million times on YouTube and Facebook.

The project shows there is a hunger for a visitor experience that incorporates the 'real'.

To that end, tourism professionals need to be aware of customer perspectives and offer something unique but also genuine. To not do so, we run the risk of giving a tainted view of what is a real authentic experience.

Insikt i att turismen förmodligen kommer att växa de kommande åren, och att det är ett relevant område

# data[].attributes.body
Oönskad ”trafik” till en specifik plats:

Detta etiska dilemma är viktigt att komma ihåg, då även om man vill skapa en större trafik till exempelvis en lokal restaurang, så kan den lokala befolkningen påverkas av hög turism på dessa områdena, som kan anses vara oönskat.

Skapar högre kostnader för lokal befolkning:

Genom att skapa en tjänst där turister kan ta del av den lokala kulturen, så kan detta påverka att priset i området ökar. Detta kommer förmodligen negativt påverka lokal befoklning, om kostnader skulle öka pågrund av det ökade trycket inom ett visst område.

Felanvändning av tjänstens syfte:

Inom området så kan tjänster inte endast användas för att ge turister en mer djupare resa som nyttar lokal befolkning. Tjänster skulle kunna användas för destruktiva syften, exempelvis skulle en person eller grupp kunna finna viktiga aspekter hos ett lokalt samhälle för att sedan utföra dåd för att förstöra samhället.

Hantering utav personlig data:

Med detta menar jag att det skulle kunna användas för finna det resandes position och hur och vilka platser som personen besöker under resan till ett annat land. Den datan som tjänster måste samla in är främst inom position för att kunna erbjuda relevanta tips för lokala aktiviteter.

"How can I make my vacation more interesting?" is a question I am often asked as a cultural educator leading dual dialogue trips around the world. The reality is that it's on us as travelers to explore the diversity each country has to offer. Even the most visited destinations can offer extraordinary experiences when you go beyond the usual tourism sites, museums, and monuments. I founded my own travel company to show tourists that no place is homogenous and no destination has a single narrative. Here are some tips that I keep in mind to go deeper into a destination.

Allow yourself to get lost.

On my first trip to Tokyo, I hopped on a train right out of the city center to explore the suburbs. I ended up in an unfamiliar area, walking around with no map or agenda. Eventually I found myself in a speakeasy which looked straight out of the 1940. Most of the patrons were older and no one spoke English. But somehow, two short hours later, I ended up dressed in traditional Japanese clothes, singing karaoke, and dancing with people I'd just met, communicating in so many ways beyond the words of our different languages.

Use food as a window to cultural diversity.

I navigated the food and drink scene in Bogotá with the help of my friend Maria, a gastronomy guide, discovering the fruits of Colombia's diversity of climates and terrains. Later she made desserts from the fruit before we headed out to a local salsa bar. There are many local companies around the world that offer such tasty experiences, like Authenticook in India, which connects travelers to local hosts for a homemade meal. Or find a food-tasting tour, like with Frying Pan Adventures in Dubai, sampling the multicultural cuisine of the city of expats.

Find where the locals hang out.

Pick up a local magazine or check out signs posted on the street corners to find art exhibits, music festivals, or other events. If you like sports, ask around where the locals play and join a scrimmage. A few years ago while visiting Tunis, I saw a group of guys playing soccer on the beach. I approached them and asked if I could join, and they welcomed me into the game. Afterward, I joined them in their favorite café where we ended up exchanging ideas about the Tunisian Revolution, among other telling topics. Jumping right into activities and events definitely helps get the conversation started with locals.

Go beyond the most popular cities.

Leave the cities for smaller places like villages and suburbs to find the hidden treasures of many countries, with unique cultural experiences, beautiful landscapes, and powerful interactions. Near Hoi An, Vietnam, I was hosted by 90-something-year-old active farmer who shared his work and life stories, like hiding people in their home during the war. There are many options for how you can visit these villages. For example, in Thailand, you can join Local Alike, a social enterprise that helped establish experiences for travelers in more than 70 villages across the country.

Look for tour groups that give back.

Some organizations offer a unique educational value that you simply will not find solo. When I visited Egypt last year, I wanted to see the country beyond the pyramids, but didn't know exactly what I was looking for. So I went on a tour with a nonprofit organization to learn about a neighborhood of Cairo nicknamed Garbage City. Left behind by the city's garbage collection, residents took matters into their own hands, collecting the trash and recycling around 85 percent. This area has one of the most successful recycling programs in the world. To find these types of off-the-beaten-path experiences, Visit.org can connect you with hundreds of nonprofits offering local visits all over all the world. If you are heading to Asia, try Backstreet Academy for unique experiences in 11 different countries in the region.

Ask locals for suggestions.

Don't be shy! My best food experience in Osaka happened when I asked strangers to take me to their favorite restaurant, and I would treat for dinner. I ended up in an izikaya, a small, bar-style restaurant with only nine seats. This was by far the best meal I had in Japan and certainly one of the most authentic experiences I had there. I enjoyed a similar experience in Curitiba, Brazil, where I asked a local group where to have dinner in the city; instead of pointing one out, they invited me to join them. I am still friends with them!

Get your information from more than one tour guide.

Most cities in the world, from Jerusalem to Belfast, Istanbul to Washington D.C., are multicultural and diverse. But if you get all your information about that city's culture and history from one tour guide, you are likely to miss the richness of the destination. Imagine visiting Belfast with both Catholic and Protestant guides, discussing the different historical, cultural, and political narratives of Northern Ireland. When I co-founded my tour company Mejdi tours, we were determined to use multiple tour guides each from different backgrounds on every single tour, so visitors can understand the complexity of every location.

Denna gav mig insikt i vad Tourism Leakge är, varför det är ett problem och hur detta kan minimeras

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Try to think about the money you spent the last time you went on an international holiday. How were your expenses distributed? What were the most significant costs? Were there cost of transportation such as airline tickets and airport transfers? How about accommodation costs and guided excursions and tours? What about the food and drinks you enjoyed? Maybe you went shopping too. Now ask yourself, what proportion of your total holiday expenditure contributed to the local economy of your chosen destination?

When we break down our holiday expenses and start to analyse who are on the receiving end of our money spent, we find that in most cases only a fraction stays within the local community. Imagine a holiday where you fly with an international airline, stay at an international hotel chain booked through a multi-national hotel agent. The hotel has foreign management and staff to meet the language and service training demands by international tourists. The food and drinks you enjoy are characterised by imported products to satisfy international taste buds and give the comfort of familiarity in a foreign setting. The souvenirs are mass-produced in another country with cheaper labour costs, and your tour guide is your fellow countryman. This is not an uncommon holiday setup. This is what we call 'tourism leakage', the phenomenon where the vast majority of tourism revenue leaks out of the local economy and into the pockets of big international companies.

Why is tourism leakage a problem?
Tourism has a fantastic potential to create local jobs, boost community development, infrastructure, and education. However, these benefits are hampered by a tourism setup, such as the above. The example is not uncommon. It is, in fact, how many of us spend our holidays. But not only does tourism leakage prevent socio-economic benefits from reaching the communities, the local residents are often the unwilling recipients of the nuisances and problems related to tourism. These negative impacts can for example be inflated prices, shortage of water and other resources, increased wastage, and overcrowdedness.

What can you do to minimise tourism leakage?
Be adventurous, experience the destination you choose to visit. Eat, sleep, and explore locally. Immerse yourself in local language, customs, and culture, and embrace the fact that the world is colourful, diverse, and exciting.

Enligt FN-organet UNWTO (United Nations World Tourism Organization) omfattar turism människors aktiviteter när de reser till och vistas på platser utanför sin vanliga omgivning för kortare tid än ett år för fritid, affärer eller andra syften.

Turismens basbegrepp och definitioner bidrar till att alla intressenter med kopplingar till resor och turism får ett gemensamt språk som fungerar i kommunikationen internt bland aktörerna och externt med omvärlden.

När det gäller att föra statistik om turism och resande och möjliggöra jämförelser av resultat över tid och rum är begreppen och deras innebörd av särskilt stor betydelse.

Tillväxtverket har låtit genomföra en uppdaterad översättning av de viktigaste basbegreppen och definitionerna. Den nu publicerade versionen av Turismens begreppsnyckel, 2016, ersätter den av Turistdelegationen tidigare publicerade begreppsnyckeln från 1995.

Turismen begreppsnyckel

Turismens begreppsnyckel, 2016, bygger på och är en översättning av FN:s International Recommendations for Tourism Statistics 2008, IRTS 2008, (UNWTO 2010)

Den viktigaste förändringen gällande svenska förhållanden i den nu publicerade versionen är att begreppet "turist" bör ersättas med begreppet "besökare", då begreppet turist ofta tolkas som att endast omfatta resor i fritidssyfte och inte affärsmässiga och professionella syften.
