Food serves as a cornerstone of the tourism experience, enriching local economies and cultures, while offering visitors unique insights into regional culinary traditions. However, the mismanagement of food resources in tourism can lead to significant waste, contributing to broader environmental and socio-economic issues, including increased greenhouse gas emissions and resource depletion. Therefore, in today’s global tourism sector, managing food sustainably is not only a key element of the tourist experience but is also critical for environmental, social, and economic sustainability.
The webinar aims to raise awareness about the general issue of food waste, provide actionable guidance for stakeholders, and showcase effective practices for reducing food waste. By sharing insights and perspectives, the aim is to:
1. Global and Sectoral Impact of Food Waste: Provide an understanding of the environmental, economic, and social impacts of food waste globally and within the tourism sector.
2. Strategies for Reduction: Highlight effective strategies for food waste reduction at different stages of the tourism food value chain, including procurement, inventory management, menu planning, and waste management.
3. Case Studies and Best Practices: Share successful examples from the tourism sector where food waste management practices have led to significant improvements in sustainability and operational efficiency.
4. Policy and Industry Actions: Examine how national tourism policies can evolve to prioritize sustainable food management and waste reduction.
