world culinary travel expo

presented by AM1320 and JoyTV

Showcasing world tourism through regional food, cuisine, cooking, chefs, hospitality and beverages.

Exploring global travel through gastronomy -- encouraging sustainable tourism by experiencing local food and beverage, cooking and cultures! The way to a great trip is often through the palate -- what is consumed on the road is sometimes more memorable than any other types of travel adventures.

At the World Culinary Travel Expo, you get to interact face-to-face with local and international vendors -- discover new vacation spots based on culinary offerings of destinations like China, Korea, Indonesia, Philippines, India, Israel, Turkey, Italy, Antigua and Barbuda, Barbados, Argentina, Ecuador, Fiji, Louisiana, and more!

Talk to tour operators, cruise experts, destination representatives and hoteliers -- obtain cutting-edge information and tips on how to turn your next vacation into a life-enriching experience and SAVE hundreds of dollars on unadvertised deals. Taste scrumptious signature dishes prepared by their destination celebrity chefs. It's all part of EAT! Vancouver 2011!

"2010 is our 2nd year. Our arrivals for 2009-2010 have increased 160%. Arrivals from BC have increased significantly……and we can only accredit our increase to exhibiting here. Visitors are well travelled."

"Participating at the 2009 World Culinary Travel Expo at EAT! Vancouver show was a great way to showcase our products and services, especially with the announcement of our direct service to Spain from Vancouver. Culinary shows are the perfect tie-in to travel and tourism as we see the increase in trend in special interest culinary travel. The success of last year’s World Culinary Travel Expo at EAT! Vancouver show brought more consumer awareness on our non-stop flights from Vancouver to Barcelona. The season was a success; so much so that we have the direct flights for 2010 Barcelona AND adding Madrid. This year is the perfect opportunity to showcase another new destination, Greece."

WE ARE GREEN AT HEART!
We're making every effort to minimize EAT! Vancouver's impact on our environment. The 2010 EAT! Vancouver festival is bullfrogpowered with 100% green electricity. This means that Bullfrog Power will inject carbon-free green power onto the British Columbia electricity grid to match the amount of electricity used by this event. Bullfrog’s green power is sourced exclusively from wind power and low-impact hydro producers who meet or exceed the federal government's EcoLogoM standard for renewable energy. The Vancouver Convention Centre has a living roof, seawater heating and cooling, on-site water treatment and fish habitat built into the foundation of the West Building make it one of the "greenest" convention centres in the world.
