  • The Evolving Relationship Between Food and Tourism: a Case Study Of
    1 THE EVOLVING RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN FOOD AND TOURISM: A CASE STUDY OF DEVON THROUGH THE TWENTIETH CENTURY Submitted by: Paul Edward Cleave, to the University of Exeter as a thesis for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Management Studies. November 2011 This thesis is available for Library use on the understanding that it is copyright material and that no quotation from the thesis may be published without prior acknowledgement. I certify that all material in this thesis which is not my own work has been identified and that no material has previously been submitted and approved for the award of a degree by this or any other University. Signature............................................. 2 Acknowledgements I would like to thank everyone who contributed so generously and patiently of their time and expertise in the completion of this thesis, and especially to my supervisor, Professor Gareth Shaw for his guidance and inspiration. Their unfailing support and encouragement in my endeavours is greatly appreciated. Paul Cleave 3 Abstract The aim of this thesis is to examine the evolving relationship between food and tourism through the twentieth century. Devon, a county in the South West of England, and a popular tourist destination is used as the geographical focus of the case study. Previous studies have tended to focus on particular locations at a fixed point in time, not over the timescale of a century. The research presents a social and economic history of food in the context of tourism. It incorporates many food related interests reflecting the topical and evolving, embracing leisure, pleasure and social history, Burnett (2004).
