What I Know: Sometimes the most unforgettable attraction isn't an attraction at all—it's the meal you never stop talking about. After returning from Portugal, I realized that while visitors may travel for iconic sights and experiences, it's often the food, the people, and the conversations around the table that become the memories that last a lifetime. In this edition of What I Know, I explore why food and beverage are far more than part of the tourism experience—they are one of the most powerful ways destinations tell their story, showcase their culture, and create lasting connections with visitors. From fresh seafood grilled over charcoal to warm Pastéis de Nata and conversations with local chefs and restaurant owners, this journey reminded me that every great destination has a flavour all its own. What's one meal you've experienced while travelling that you'll never forget? I'd love to hear your story.
