Failte Ireland have today announced they are seeking nominations for emerging food champions to join their Food Tourism Development Network.
The Food Tourism Development Network was established by Failte Ireland in 2012 to find emerging food champions with a resounding passion and belief in Irish food and who actively influence and shape the future of Irish cuisine and food tourism in their region.
Already, twenty one food champions have participated in the initiative and have contributed to encouraging more people to stop, spend and stay longer in their local tourism regions while at the same time further developing Ireland’s overall food tourism reputation.
Nominees will be selected, representing a mixed group of owner/managers of food service businesses who are members of wider food tourism communities.
Head of Food Tourism with Failte Ireland, John Mulcahy says, "We are looking for individuals that have a resounding passion and belief in Irish food. We are seeking innovative leaders that have a commitment and drive to actively influence and further shape the future of Irish cuisine and food tourism locally."
