Food Travel and Tourism Report Research by Ali Koray Ozguclukorayozguclu
Food tourism and travel the close relationship between food and tourism and which unprecedented growth and popularisation in tourism has witnessed in the more recent years. Some tourists indulge in unique culinary experiences in foreign countries while some tourists travel purposefully or get a glimpse of a culture that is different than anything saw before by tourists. Food tourism has been a growing trend as national cuisine and food culture and as an artistic expression of the local culture. Food tourism is about much more than just enjoying the best meal, a glass of local drink, beer or wine during a trip.
Manual for Training course on Tourism Product Development and Good Marketing ...duanesrt
From July 14th to 18th, 2014, a Training Course on Tourism Product Development and Good Marketing Practices was organised by the ESRT Programme in Vung Tau city.
This training course has been developed to provide tourism administrators from governmental agencies and Southern provincial Departments of Culture, Sports and Tourism with a deeper understanding and basic practice skills on market, process of tourism product development and marketing planning, which can be taken into their daily work.
Agritourism, or agritainment, is an exploding market connecting you to locally grown foods, wines, and culinary experiences. Reaching a $billion in 2013 in the US, agritourism offers farmers a revenue stream that helps them stay on the farm and grow their customers base. With only 2% of US residents being connected to farms and food production, agritourism offers an exciting and hyper-local experience to foodies, young families, and geotourists.
This module explores the current market situation for Street Food. It also touches on how you as an entrepreneur can use technology to maximise your business ideas, bench-marking and gives real life case studies of Street Food businesses in action.

Annette Cole from South West Tourism explained that it is the quality of the environment that is the key reason why people visit the South West on holiday. However, according to a recent survey, visitor attractions are not seen as value for money anymore, especially the food and drink aspect. To try and tackle this opinion SW Tourism is promoting a new scheme of 'family friendly' food options on menus, to try and ensure that the whole market is provided for and to improve the “value for money” perception.
With several case studies from the GSTC Sustainable Tourism Training Program (STTP), this webinar showcases best practices and lessons learned on sustainable tourism destination development, management and marketing.
Learn how some of the world's leading sustainable destinations are implementing concrete steps to improve sustainability performance and to achieve tangible benefits for the tourism industry.

Kubernetes & AI - Beauty and the Beast !?! @KCD Istanbul 2024Tobias Schneck
As AI technology is pushing into IT I was wondering myself, as an “infrastructure container kubernetes guy”, how get this fancy AI technology get managed from an infrastructure operational view? Is it possible to apply our lovely cloud native principals as well? What benefit’s both technologies could bring to each other?
Let me take this questions and provide you a short journey through existing deployment models and use cases for AI software. On practical examples, we discuss what cloud/on-premise strategy we may need for applying it to our own infrastructure to get it to work from an enterprise perspective. I want to give an overview about infrastructure requirements and technologies, what could be beneficial or limiting your AI use cases in an enterprise environment. An interactive Demo will give you some insides, what approaches I got already working for real.
"Impact of front-end architecture on development cost", Viktor TurskyiFwdays
I have heard many times that architecture is not important for the front-end. Also, many times I have seen how developers implement features on the front-end just following the standard rules for a framework and think that this is enough to successfully launch the project, and then the project fails. How to prevent this and what approach to choose? I have launched dozens of complex projects and during the talk we will analyze which approaches have worked for me and which have not.
Search and Society: Reimagining Information Access for Radical FuturesBhaskar Mitra
The field of Information retrieval (IR) is currently undergoing a transformative shift, at least partly due to the emerging applications of generative AI to information access. In this talk, we will deliberate on the sociotechnical implications of generative AI for information access. We will argue that there is both a critical necessity and an exciting opportunity for the IR community to re-center our research agendas on societal needs while dismantling the artificial separation between the work on fairness, accountability, transparency, and ethics in IR and the rest of IR research. Instead of adopting a reactionary strategy of trying to mitigate potential social harms from emerging technologies, the community should aim to proactively set the research agenda for the kinds of systems we should build inspired by diverse explicitly stated sociotechnical imaginaries. The sociotechnical imaginaries that underpin the design and development of information access technologies needs to be explicitly articulated, and we need to develop theories of change in context of these diverse perspectives. Our guiding future imaginaries must be informed by other academic fields, such as democratic theory and critical theory, and should be co-developed with social science scholars, legal scholars, civil rights and social justice activists, and artists, among others.
GDG Cloud Southlake #33: Boule & Rebala: Effective AppSec in SDLC using Deplo...James Anderson
Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).
Speakers:
Bob Boule
Robert Boule is a technology enthusiast with PASSION for technology and making things work along with a knack for helping others understand how things work. He comes with around 20 years of solution engineering experience in application security, software continuous delivery, and SaaS platforms. He is known for his dynamic presentations in CI/CD and application security integrated in software delivery lifecycle.

Neuro-symbolic is not enough, we need neuro-*semantic*Frank van Harmelen
Neuro-symbolic (NeSy) AI is on the rise. However, simply machine learning on just any symbolic structure is not sufficient to really harvest the gains of NeSy. These will only be gained when the symbolic structures have an actual semantics. I give an operational definition of semantics as “predictable inference”.
All of this illustrated with link prediction over knowledge graphs, but the argument is general.

The Role of Food and Gastronomy in Online Travel Reviews about Agritourism Experiences. The case of Italy
1. The Role of Food and Gastronomy in
Online Travel Reviews about Agritourism
Experiences. The case of Italy
Elena Marchiori
Fabienne Boegli
Asta Adukaite
Lorenzo Cantoni
2. Introduction
Rural tourism growing interest
intrinsic characteristics: stressing ecological
equilibrium, relax, and healthy lifestyles
extrinsic factors: favorable legal frameworks and
funding schemas plus shortening of family/personal travel
budgets / travelling distances / vacation periods
3. Introduction
Rural tourism is a general model in which
agritourism plays only a small part
Agritourism consists of “traveling to farming
establishments in order to enjoy their natural,
cultural and productive values”
www.ecotourisminamerica.com
5. International Visitor Dining Experiences and
the Role of Online Travel Reviews
Wijaya et al. (2013) external factors that might
influence the visitor dining experience with local
food in the destination:
food quality
food cultural-related
physical aspect
social aspect
6. Emerging trend within User Generated
Contents (UGCs)
UGCs contribute to the image of related businesses and
destinations, and eventually to their reputation, and are
used more and more by travelers planning their future
vacations.
(Cantoni & Tardini, 2009; Fuchs, Ricci, & Cantoni, 2012; Cantoni & Xiang,
2013; Marchiori & Cantoni, 2012)
Recent study: on 440 pictures about Switzerland, published
by Chinese tourists on the Chinese social network Sina
Weibo in one full year (July 2011-June 2012), has revealed
that images of food ranked number seven.
(Hu, Kalbaska, & Cantoni, 2013)
7. Methodology
Sample from: www.agriturismo.it
1,710 OTR have been randomly selected,
written by tourists in Italian (598), in English
(573), and in German (539) about agritourism
