Irish food to play key role in new tourism strategy

Culinary or food tourism revolves around people travelling to a place specifically to taste its unique cuisine, beverages, and local produce

The Government has just launched a new Culinary Tourism Strategy that sees the food and drink sector playing a key role in attracting more visitors from overseas.

Irish food and beverages are currently on the minds of consumers countrywide with Christmas Day just over a week away.

But the Government strongly believes the produce and spirits that come from the land and will end up on dinner tables next Thursday should not be for the seasonal celebrations alone.
