Foodie trips are growing
“We call culinary trips ‘foodie tours,’” said Snitchler. “We do a lot of those as day trips. We’d have interest in longer culinary tours, I’m sure. We’re hoping to do Toronto as a women-only trip next year. And the majority of our travelers are older, but we are starting to see boomers as well. We give them more choices when they come along.”
“Our groups are still mostly mixed-gender,” said Geersen. “We’re doing some culinary things. We took a group over for the day to Chadron State College in Nebraska for their Taste of Home event. That was very popular.”
