I'm very happy to introduce a major player in the Canadian Culinary Tourism space to the podcast today. Rebecca Mackenzie is the President and CEO of the Culinary Tourism Alliance. A national, not for profit organization that helps connect the vast array of Canadian tours, farms, restaurants, hotels, breweries, wineries, distillers and producers to large tourism organizations like Destination Canada and Destination Vancouver. Its purpose is to better strategically plan, promote and market the Canadian Culinary landscape to the vast numbers of visitors to Canada. Rebecca has a passion for our producers and our hospitality business, that is infectious and absolutely steadfast in her commitment to it. Her keynote address at COOKSCAMP this past September showed all the Chefs, Managers and Operators that they have a very strong ally in Rebecca and that she is doing everything she can to advocate for them.
I hope you enjoy the pod. Any comment please DM me on the COOKSCAMP instagram.
