Northern Ireland Tourist Broad (2009, p. 8) mentions other trends directly linked to the tourist activity, such as

Trading up — consumers spend a higher proportion of their income on prepared food, gourmet products, eating out and food items with some form of health or ethical benefits.

The desire for new experiences and cultural capital — food has an important position and role in the emerging experience economy through its preparation, knowledge and consumption.
