Explore launches new foodie trips

Explore Worldwide celebrates the launch of ten new flavour-packed gastronomic tours in Asia, South America and Europe.

Explore’s new series of food adventures, Taste of the World, promises to put the destinations’ cuisine front and centre of its itineraries while exploring the highlights, cities and sites.

Plus, agents can get 5 per cent off the first departure on any new trip.

Michael Edwards, Explore’s managing director, said food is one of the most important things about immersive, cultural travel.

“Personally, I’m a huge foodie, and I’m delighted to introduce these new tours that really showcase the best culinary experiences in the countries we visit – from markets and cooking demos to homemade meals shared with locals,” Edwards said.

“I have no doubt they will be received well by travel advisors.”
