Abstract
The contributions to the volume provide a broad overview of the development of gastronomy tourism, which is one of the most dynamic sectors of global travel. Gastronomy is a particularly useful tool for tourism development and marketing, because as this volume shows, gastronomic experiences provide a vibrant link between local culture and inquisitive tourists, showcasing the lifestyle and identity of Saudi Arabia through the mutual enjoyment of food. The development of gastronomy tourism therefore presents opportunities for the expansion of cultural and experience-based tourism, but at the same time it creates challenges in the maintenance of the authenticity and genuineness of local and regional cuisine.
