REVIEWING FOOD TOURISM STRATEGIES Tempting development prospects • food increase attraction/brand of destination (Richards 2002, Presenza & Del Chiappa 2013) • boost local food production, rural diversification (Hjalager 2002, Hall et al. 2003, Everett & Slocum 2013) • cultural sustainability, heritage and regional identity (Long 2004, Sims 2009, Telfer & Hashimoto 2013) • environmental sustainability (Hall & Gössling 2013) Aims and methods • Bringing together • review of literature on food tourism • inspiration from institutionalist policy analysis and evolutionary economic geography • In order to • propose typogy of foodtourismstrategies

ReconceptualisingFOOD TOURISM STRATEGIES Conceptualising regional development strategies (Halkier 2006) • Strategies as a combination of aims, targets and instruments • Qualitative versus quantative change • Targets by sector/size/market • (Instruments as change-oriented use of public resources)
Reconceptualising food tourism:TARGET PRACTICES Reckwitz (2002: 249): Practice as '...a routinized type of behaviour which consists of several elements, interconnected to one another: forms of bodily activities, forms of mental activities, ‘things’ and their use, a background knowledge in the form of understanding, know-how, states of emotion and motivational knowledge'.
CASE STUDYFood tourism platform in North Jutland Why? • Branding, boost local food production, extend tourist season Taking a practice perspective • Key and marginal actors • Sayings and doings • Practical concerns • Temporal organization Interviews & Observation • food producers, retailers, policymakers Laura James – laura.james@humangeo.su.se Henrik Halkier– halkier@cgs.aau.dk
Laura James – laura.james@humangeo.su.se Henrik Halkier– halkier@cgs.aau.dk
Key Findings and perspectives • Focus on changing practices of retailing, branding and promoting • Support for marginalised food production practices, but small scale • Some practices ‘too difficult’ to change/link together: buying practices of supermarkets and restaurants • Focus on visible practices & new temporality (outside main season) rather than localising food chain • Need for reviewing policy practices • Underlyingassumptions? • Cross-sectoral synergies? • Strategic black spots?
