食物不仅仅是旅行时的必需品，它还提供了一个独特的切入点，让我们可以探究通过旅游业构建和转变地方和身份的方式。然而，鉴于最近人们对旅游学术中食物重要性的认识，全面整理与饮食旅行相关的众多多学科和国际叙述的资源有限。因此，莎莉·埃弗雷特（Sally Everett）的《餐饮旅游》是一项急需的贡献，它全面横贯和整合了该领域学术界的多种声音，同时也以以前没有相关文本实现的方式与当前政策和行业实践相关。这本书的方法创造了潜力，不仅在旅游研究中，而且在更广泛的社会科学领域，引起人们对美食旅游的经济、社会和文化影响的关注。本书由 22 个独立的章节组成，这些章节涉及并试图从学术界内外理解美食和饮料旅游的全部内容，而不是产生特定的概念或政治议程。章节分为三个主要主题部分：“餐饮旅游的成长和发展”、“餐饮旅游的推广和品牌化”和“餐饮景点和活动”；每个人都具有独立阅读的能力。第一部分从美食旅行的起源开始，提供历史背景，然后再讨论当代政策问题和主要行业趋势。虽然内容广泛，但本节从概念上对食品和饮料进行了研究——确定食品旅游如何成为一项多方面且复杂的活动。第一部分中的后结构主义框架非常有效，为全文提供了一个可以讨论和借鉴多种理论方法的平台。营销、促销和开发问题是第二部分的重点。这里的优势在于埃弗里特对旅游营销策略的务实应用进行讨论的方式，以及对这些策略构建特定烹饪身份的方式的更批判性的理解，而这些身份并不总是得到当地居民的认可。考虑到文本的目标受众是以就业为重点的高等教育学生，应用性、批判性和概念性的谈判尤其相关。转向最后一部分“餐饮景点和活动”，通过探索餐饮旅游在许多实证背景下的不同表现方式，概念和方法变得生动起来。这里的一个亮点是“当消费者成为生产者”，它揭示了食品旅游的某些特征如何将游客作为消费者的理解转变为生产者。举例说明旅游经营者如何利用游客的技能和知识，同时游客越来越多地寻求参与食品生产过程。埃弗里特指出，这种转变带来了生产/消费二分法的线性和二元结构的问题。这些问题与旅游研究特别相关，因为该学科具有将生产与工作、消费与休闲分开分类的历史倾向。该文本的一个优点是它利用了来自全球南半球和北半球的国际案例研究，深入了解全球和当地流程如何生产独特的、基于地方的食品配方和旅游体验。表壳深度
More than a requirement whilst travelling, food offers a unique entry point to interrogate the ways through which place and identity are constructed and transformed through tourism. Yet, in light of the relevantly recent recognition concerning the importance of food within tourist scholarship, there are limited resources that comprehensively collate the numerous multi-disciplinary and international narratives relating to food and drink travel. As such, Sally Everett’s Food and Drink Tourism is a much needed contribution that comprehensively transverses and integrates the multiplicity of academic voices working in this area, whilst also relating to current policy and industry practice in a way that no relating texts have previously achieved. The book’s approach creates the potential for generating attention to the economic, social and cultural influence of food tourism, not only within tourist studies but also across the social sciences more broadly.The text consists of 22 stand-alone chapters that engage and attempt to make sense of the gamut of food and drink tourism from both within and outside academia, rather than generating a particular conceptual or political agenda. Chapters are structured into three main thematic parts:“the growth and development of food and drink tourism”,“the promotion and branding of food and drink tourism” and “food and drink attractions and events”; each possess the ability to be read independently. Part one starts from the beginnings of food travel, providing an historical context before moving to discuss contemporary policy issues and major industry trends. While broad, this section sets up the study of food and drink conceptually—identifying the ways through which food tourism is a multi-faceted and complex activity. A poststructuralist framing in this first section is productive in enabling a platform for a multitude of theoretical approaches to be discussed and drawn on throughout the text. Issues of marketing, promotion and development form the focus of part two. Strength here is in the way Everett negotiates discussion of the pragmatic application of tourist marketing strategies, alongside more critical understandings concerning the ways such strategies construct particular culinary identities, which are not always recognised by local residents. Negotiation of the applied, critical and conceptual is particularly pertinent, in consideration of the text’s intended audience of employment focused tertiary students. Turning to the final section,“Food and drink attractions and events”, concepts and approaches are brought alive through an exploration of the ways food and drink tourism has manifested differently across a number of empirical contexts. A highlight here is “When consumers become producers”, which reveals the ways certain characterisations of food tourism have shifted understandings of tourists as consumers to producers. Examples are drawn on to illustrate the ways tourist operators utilise the skills and knowledge of tourists, while tourists increasingly seek participation in food production processes. Everett identifies that such shifts bring into question linear and dualistic constructions of the production/consumption dichotomy. Such questionings are of particular pertinence to tourist studies because the discipline has a historical tendency to separately categorise production with work and consumption with leisure. A strength of the text is its utilisation of international case studies from across the Global South and North, rendering insights into how global and local processes are producing unique, place-based formulations of food and the tourist experience.
