Abstract
This case study examines how a destination can be marketed through a signature dish. In particular, this case study discusses how Visit Orlando selected its signature dish and how they use it to promote Orlando. Orlando’s signature dish “Orlando’s Honey Nougat Glace” created by Chef Catherine Delrieu of Mon Petit Cheri was decided to be a great way to display the fresh and unique ingredients found in the local area. This dish showcases local honey, which is a huge staple of Florida. Visit Orlando used this as an opportunity to encourage visitors to explore outside of the theme parks and taste the area’s delicious local cuisine. This study discusses why and how destination marketing organizations (DMOs) can utilize signature dishes to promote their destinations.
