Food and Travel webinar

On 18th March 2010 a panel experts came together to discuss the topic of Food & Travel.

The panel brought together teams in London, Cumbria and Tobago!

Personal experience, stories and tips about Local Food and Travel

Ask local people where they eat

We were delighted that the overall conclusion seemed to be to get in touch with local people, which is what Tripbod is all about. Another suggestion was the combined approach of forward planning and following your nose. Tripbod encourages travellers to research their destination using local people so that you have the confidence when you land to follow your instinct and let yourself roam in to new exciting territories.

Since 2004, The Travel Foundation in Tobago has set up several projects demonstrating the positive impact that tourism can have on the local community and environment. They have been successfully limiting the negative impact of over-fishing due to increasing demand on supplies from tourism industry. They have also started an educational bee-keeping programme, which educates local school children and creates new jobs in local produce. (The Travel Foundation in Tobago)

Adopt a Farmer: tourism supports local agriculture

“The Adopt a Farmer project has been successful in forging greater relationships between farmers and hotels, decreasing the dependency on imported produce.

To date, twenty five farmers and their families supply hotels with over £26,000 worth of local produce. Farmers earn 30%-100% more for their produce, using the revenue to invest in more land and new crops. This increased income has improved the wellbeing of the farmers and their families.”

Join Rose and the rest of the panel on Thursday 18th March at 1pm to discuss Food & Travel. Email [email protected] to register.
