| Summary: | Food tourism is a growing phenomenon that is adding value to the tourism sector. While it can be recognised as
a specific food tourism category, street food tourism has not been yet clearly conceptualised and much research
remains to be done on this sub-sector. This paper presents an overview of issues relating to street food tourism
from a global context. It proposes a definition of street food tourism and suggests strategies to enhance its
development. The paper is based on secondary literature. It presents a South African case study which is based on
data sourced from a number of websites. The ambition of this paper is to contribute to the expansion of food
tourism literature and assist stakeholders in the sector to chart a way forward. |
