Abstract

Travel associated with food and beverage has emerged as an important and growing sector of tourism over the past few decades. As part of this trend, a number of authors are researching and systematizing literature concerning beverage tourism, including studies on wine tourism, beer tourism, whiskey, tea and coffee tourism. Coffee tourism can be defined as a journey outside a permanent place of residence related to coffee that includes segments of the history, customs, products and culture of the destination. Coffee tourism enriches the experience of tourists during the trip by visiting coffee shops, observing coffee cultivation and production processes, tasting coffee, buying coffee and other interactive activities. Coffee tourism is a form of tourism that provides opportunities for tourists to engage in various coffee experiences and aspects of coffee culture in destinations that have natural or cultural values associated with coffee. The purpose of this paper is to review coffee culture and coffee tourism. For that purpose, an analysis of the existing literature related to coffee tourism was made. The primary attraction for coffee tourism is the coffee plantations with their surrounding landscapes. Historic coffee shops and contemporary cafeterias, coffee museums and coffee theme parks as well as special coffee themed events and festivals are also covered in this paper.
