{"title":"Virtual Culinary Tourism in the Time of COVID 19","authors":"Lucy M. Long","doi":"10.25035/visions.24.01.04","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.25035/visions.24.01.04","url":null,"abstract":"As the COVID-19 pandemic closed borders and shut down travel in 2020, culinary tourists have turned to virtual experiences for satisfying their curiosity about new foods and tastes. Individuals as well as industry professionals have focused their energies on cooking shows, cookbooks, food memoires, blogs, and both formal media and informal social media. These activities represent a philosophical approach to tourism as a state of seeing or attitude that represents the humanities-based definition of culinary tourism as \"eating out of curiosity\" rather than the more industry-driven one of food-motivated travel to a destination. These virtual formats may be reaching a larger number of audiences than pre-COVID-19 culinary tourism marketing and including a larger number of potential destinations that tourists previously would not have considered visiting in person. They also are creating opportunities for educating people about various dishes and food cultures. Those opportunities may be \"whetting their appetite\" for future travel, resulting in heightened interest in culinary tourism experiences in the future. It is possible that these audiences will be more aware of the nuances of food cultures and of the impacts of tourism and will therefore seek experiences that are more multifaceted and more sustainable for all parties involved.","PeriodicalId":399728,"journal":{"name":"Visions in Leisure and Business","volume":"26 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127744695","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

His reflection gives rise to issues that are important now and in the future. The insight that he has provided is a bridge from the old to the new. He is always on the cutting edge of new thoughts, yet with a focus on the past to develop continuity. It is important to note that some of the issues emphasize COVID-19, but most of the thoughts are dealing with future issues. His thoughts are a guideline to the restarting of the theme park industry. He recognizes that there has been a tremendous psychological impact of the virus. Many individuals are ready to engage with themed attractions with enthusiasm. Others are going to have to be educated and given time to adapt because the virus has been such a traumatic influence upon their life. The educational process is not a marketing effort, but a true effort to help individuals adjust and again reformulate their position to different entertainment products and a new way of approaching new norms. A personal style of writing was used throughout the article to emphasis Mr. O’Brien contributions.
