World Food Travel Association

The World Food Travel Association (WFTA) creates economic opportunities where food and beverage meet travel and hospitality. We are a hub that supports the economic viability of food, beverage, travel and hospitality industry stakeholders.

Food is a common denominator shared by everyone around the world, no matter where we live or where we travel. Our research shows that for 93% of travelers, food and drink create memories, and are not just meals.

Without our distinctive food and beverage products, culinary cultures and local hospitality, the unique sense of place that inspires us to travel and even host visitors at home, will be forever lost.

The Association is registered in the US State of Oregon as a 501-c-3 non-profit educational institution.
