Anthony visits Denmark on a Food Tourism benchmarking trip

In November 2026, Anthony and his fellow Fáilte Ireland Food Champions visited Denmark on a Food Tourism benchmarking trip in November 2016.

The network aims to support Fáilte Ireland’s Food Tourism Vision that ‘Ireland will be recognised by visitors for memorable food experiences which evoke a unique sense of place, culture and hospitality.’ Part of a Food Champion's remit is working with their local community to help build Ireland’s food tourism reputation, sourcing and activating ideas to encourage visitors to stop, spend, and stay longer.

The Food Champions visited the cities of Copenhagen and Aarhus. They experienced a bespoke itinerary that showcased food tourism experiences that support Denmark’s high position on the international food tourism landscape.
