By bringing together stories from around the world, this new volume, Purpose-Driven Tourism: The Intersection of Cultural Cuisine, Gender Equality, and Sustainable Community Building, explores the confluence of tourism, cuisine, gender equality, and community development in tourism, presenting an engrossing investigation of tourism in a world characterized by fast urbanization, growing globalization, and the critical requirement for sustainable practices.

An inclusive and balanced approach to travel is highlighted in the book, with tales of women in tourism from around the world and how their participation encourages the tourism sector to contribute to gender parity. An essential part of purpose-driven tourism is sustainable community building, which also takes center stage in the volume. The book investigates the significance of conservation initiatives, responsible tourism practices, and community participation that highlight comprehensive strategies that can lead to the prosperity of host communities and the protection of their natural resources while simultaneously benefiting tourists.

The diversity of cultural cuisines is emphasized in this anthology, as it delves into the complex relationships between gender, sustainable community building, and gastronomy. The volume offers engrossing studies of gastronomy and cultural tourism, including beer and cultural heritage tourism in Germany, the lure of coffee tourism in Colombia, how recreational fishing in Mexico leads to sustainable development opportunities, the impact of gastronomy on social entrepreneurship, gastronomic tourism in Peru, Indonesia, Mexico, and more.

The studies presented in this volume will be of interest to tourism academics, tourism researchers and professionals, community development practitioners, policymakers and government officials, non-governmental organizations, and many others interested in how tourism can lead to gender equality and empowerment and sustainable community development.
