A Growing Taste For Culinary Travel | cnn.com
Travelers seem to have a healthy appetite for culinary tourism, whether it involves making caldo verde or sipping Cabernet Sauvignon. "It's definitely a growing market. I think it's becoming a very important market as a subset of cultural tourism," said Dr. Rich Harrill, director of the International Tourism Research Institute at the University of South Carolina. "It's really a fun thing to do," said Barbara Courtney, 54, of Martha's Vineyard, Massachusetts, who spent three days in March taking cooking lessons with her daughter in Tuscany. "When I travel I like to do activities. I'm not a go-sit-on-the-beach kind of person."
