Eating Europe wins in 2017 FoodTrekking Awards

LONDON - April 5, 2017 - PRLog -- Eating Europe Tours has been named Best Food/Beverage Tour Operations (Land) by the World Food Travel Association. In the second year of its Foodtrekking Awards, the WFTA recognized Eating Europe Tours as a leader in the category of short and long-term food or beverage tours.

"Experiencing the local food culture is one of the most memorable parts of any holiday, and we're thrilled and honored to have been selected by the WTFA for our outstanding food tours across Europe!" says Kenny Dunn, founder and Managing Director of Eating Europe Tours.

Rather than another Top 10 or best restaurants list, the FoodTrekking Awards are unique in that they fill a void of recognition of experience excellence in 13 categories within the food and beverage tourism industry. Food and beverage is the fastest-growing sector of travel, which itself is one of the world's largest and most economically significant industries.

The judging panel included experts in culinary tourism, slow food movement, and business owners. Each judge reviewed two different applicants according to established criteria in a confidential review process.
