Ann and I interviewed John Stanley of John Stanley Associates  recently about his new book, he jointly wrote with his wife Linda,


 Food Tourism – A Practical Marketing Guide.





The fastest growth in tourism today is the culinary sector.


Listen to John as he explains the overall direction of food tourism, including how he sees future development.


A few snip bits:


Do you grow soil?


25% of the food we buy comes from 2% of the farmland around our cities, which is being swallowed up by development.


Farmers used to make 38 cents on every dollar now its down to an average of just 6 cents


Eating local seasonal food saves you around 25%, and is actually healthier for you!
