Slow tourism

Few would argue that ‘nature’ (or ‘accessible nature’) and ‘heritage’ are Dunedin’s unique selling points. I’ve been banging on about these two strengths for years. However, comments made by a recent walk customer regarding Dunedin’s tasty hospitality/ food & beverage scene (read on for examples) made me think.

The speaker noted that ‘nature’, ‘heritage’ and ‘food’ are all strengths here, and observed that Dunedin’s real draw is in fact ‘slow tourism’, which encompasses all these things. I think they’re right.

Our Links page highlights local foodie destinations OCHO, Taste Nature, Dunedin Craft Distillers and Steamer Basin Brewery & Taproom, amongst others. The page also hosts a link to ‘The Full Guide To Being A Food Tourist’, a wonderful international resource supplied by World Explorer Stats.

Food for thought!
