OUR PROGRAM
People will go a long way for great food. Culinary tourism is an exploding industry that needs people who can create exciting and fulfilling experiences for food-lovers who enjoy travel. If you’re already working in the field of hospitality and tourism, learning about culinary tourism is the perfect way to take your career to the next level.
