U.S. Culinary Tourism Market Growth & Trends:

The U.S. culinary tourism market size is expected to reach USD 7,638.0 million by 2030, and projected to grow at a CAGR 19.2% from 2025 to 2030, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. Culinary tourism has emerged as a major draw with the growth of the global travel industry, offering food enthusiasts the chance to explore regional cuisines, meet local artisans, and discover the cultural stories behind the dishes they enjoy. With the U.S. being home to a wide range of culinary traditions influenced by its diverse population, the country has become an attractive destination for tourists who want to taste their way through different regions.

The rise of social media has played a pivotal role in fueling this trend. The food has become a central part of the travel experience. Platforms like Instagram and TikTok have turned food photography and storytelling into a form of cultural currency, encouraging travelers to seek out memorable food experiences they can share online. Food festivals, cooking classes, and guided culinary tours have become popular activities, offering tourists the opportunity to interact with local chefs and food producers while learning about the rich culinary history of the regions they visit.

Additionally, the demand for sustainable and health-conscious dining has contributed to the growth of culinary tourism. Many travelers prioritize farm-to-table experiences, organic cuisine, and eco-friendly food practices, making the U.S. a prime destination for those seeking flavor and sustainability. Cities like San Francisco, Portland, and Asheville are renowned for their focus on locally sourced ingredients and innovative dining, drawing in tourists who are eager to explore new culinary landscapes while supporting environmentally responsible food practices. As culinary tourism continues to grow, it not only enhances the travel experience but also boosts local economies by promoting small-scale food producers, restaurants, and markets.

U.S. Culinary Tourism Market Report Highlights:

  • Based on activity, food feastivals held a substantial market share, driven by their ability to offer diverse, immersive food experiences and highlight regional culinary traditions. These events provide tourists with interactive opportunities to sample local cuisine and engage with chefs and producers.
  • Based on booking mode, direct travel type held a substantial market, as travelers seek greater control, flexibility, and personalized experiences.
