ABSTRACT
Purpose:
This paper considers two sectors critical to New Zealand's economy and identity - food and tourism - and addresses the question what role will - or could - food and drink play in a more resilient tourism future for the country? Design/methodology/approach:
This is largely a conceptual paper, informed by the academic literature, media commentary and recent market research.Findings:
The paper concludes that there are trends apparent in the food and tourism sectors prior to the COVID-19 pandemic that have intensified during lockdown and which are likely to influence the resetting of tourism on a more resilient and regenerative pathway. Three potential trends in food and drink tourism are identified, labelled "Getting back to basics", "Valuing local and locals" and "Food for well-being". Originality/value By synthesising recent research and academic, industry and media commentaries, this paper provides a timely assessment of a potential future role of food and drink tourism in a reimagined tourism sector for New Zealand, with this assessment offering a starting point for further discussions about a more regenerative, equitable and inclusive tourism future.
