Abstract
All over the world, international tourism flows and receipts have been consolidating their growing tendencies, as well as becoming a major category of international trade in services and therefore providing a high relevance in stimulating economic growth (UNWTO 2016). The World Food Travel Association (2014) estimates that 25% of global tourist spending is on food and drink. This study seeks to understand the influence of lifestyle changes and the effect that Web 2.0 had on gastronomic tourism.
