One of the trends that is mentioned is authentic experiences, people are today enjoying more food that is cooked local, food that comes from markets, food halls and local residents’ home. By experiencing local food and drinks gives tourist the opportunity to engage with locals, see how local families interact while cooking and eating together. By giving tourist authentic experiences can give an impact on choosing more local food tours rather than fancy restaurant. Also having the chance to choose local cooking classes and food tours gives tourist a more focus on sustainability, that is also a trend that has been growing, as well as waking an interest in how the local ingredients are grown, harvested and cooked. 

In addition to these trends there is a also a trend of sharing experiences, most of us like to take pictures of shareable elements like pictures of our food and the view of the restaurant. These images can influence people through social media to want to travel to that destination. 

In this article they talk about the benefits that comes of culinary tourism. It mentions the benefit of developing awareness, both social and cultural, it shows travelers the true culture and society of a country.

Culinary tourism is beneficial by providing opportunities for minority groups, this helps to strengthen the biodiversity and protect the cultural heritage. Additional to those benefits, culinary also contributes to the development of local stores and restaurants. By providing culinary tourism in more destinations, will prevent overcrowding by distributing tourist. 

Another trend that is evolving is cuisines from Southeast Asia and Korea, also it is expected that there will be a more interest in Native Australian ingredients. After the pandemic, people are eager to spend more money on fine dining and luxury ingredients. 

It gives an overview of how culinary tourism has long been popular and is constantly growing. Today’s tourists are looking to experience more than just cooking classes and fancy restaurants, this gives travel advisors and tour operators many opportunities to find creative ways to satisfy tourists craving of new experiences. 

Being a diverse country makes it challenging for Australia to express their food culture while support the broad and multiple heritage and indigenous history. 

Technology is, and will be an important tool for tourism sectors, especially when travel restrictions are in place. The technology the tourism sector is now using allows them to stay in contact with their costumers and motivate them to visit their sites later on. 

The article also mentions Australian’s history and legacy, it talks about that Aboriginal culture is more than just one culture. Aboriginal people exist in every part of Australia and wish to open their door for the world to experience the food and culture.

I want to create a place where a restaurant/café can create their own profile where their menu is included. The concept is to engage costumers to review/rate the food and drinks, this can be used as a tool for other people as they can easily read what is good on the menu.

The idea is to create a platform/function on my website/app where there is easy access to many different food blogs. I want it to be possible for people to be able to communicate with the bloggers and other people. A platform where it is possible to talk about their own experiences.

To evolve the company has to make big sales and expand, this can be a complicated task to do since the resoruces is limited and with a big marked, Food&Tours are looking at competitors like Trip Advisor, who is a known global.
