An important strategy that numerous destination marketing organizations have employed to attract and hold visitors promote is the food and beverage trail, route or path.1 The product connects similar and complementary enterprises on maps that are distributed in traditional print formats and accessed on the internet. The growing functionality of personal devices further enhances their value, particularly for those who prefer narrative guidance and appreciate the ability to access supplemental information.2 The need for collaboration among potential destinations is most evident in rural areas. Where they tend to be widely dispersed, formal business linkages generate a necessary threshold of interest that justify the travel effort. In large urban places where the potential number of destinations is large, delineated routes enable visitors to navigate smoothly between stops. The following survey samples culinary trails in sixteen countries. While the actual number that operates around the world cannot be easily calculated, clearly most viticultural regions have an established wine route. In addition, trails have also been established for other beverages such as beer and cider and increasingly public agencies, industry associations, non-profit groups, institutions and private tour operators have created those that feature locally grown or processed foods. The discussion begins with an examination of commercial trail products before a review of those that have been established by leading public destination tourism organizations. Collectively, they reveal diverse approaches to content, promotional strategies and cartographic representation which can serve to inform choice in other jurisdictions with an interest in assessing or developing their own trails. This review avoids the large number of private companies that offer culinary and wine experiences that can be accessed through the internet. Rather, it focuses public agencies that have developed self-directed food and beverage trails, routes and itineraries that can be followed on maps that are available in print form or on the internet. Using examples from around the globe, it sets out to: provide insight into models of administration, including funding, and criteria for membership. illustrate the range of cartographic devices in both paper and electronic formats reveal decisions that have been made about the level of detail to include for each operators. show what strategies have been employed to encourage linkages along the route. describe signage that has been posted along roads to serve the needs of visitors for various modes of travel 1 According to The International Trail Data Standards, a trail is “a linear feature constructed for the purpose of allowing the free movement of people, stock, or Off Highway Vehicles.” ITDS, 2003 2 http://www.tourcaster.com/TourDetails.aspx?TourId=428 6 Corporate Operators The demand for culinary experiences is evident in the growth of the number of commercial food and beverage trails. Typically, they are led by food writers, experts who have been trained in culinary schools and other food service industry guides. Useful links for travelers in search of food, cooking and wine tours can be found in The Food Reference Website.3 Examples of prominent culinary trails, vacations and cooking classes that are available from private tour operators are shown in Table 1. 1.
