Culinary tourism has become a significant aspect of travel for those seeking authentic local experiences, with over 50 per cent of travellers identifying food as a key motivator for their journeys, according to the World Food Travel Association. The Postcard Hotel is responding to this trend by offering guests a chance to explore India's vibrant regional flavours through its culinary offerings across various properties.
The hotel adopts a farm-to-table philosophy, emphasising sustainability by sourcing seasonal ingredients from local farmers and artisans. This approach not only enhances the dining experience but also supports local economies and promotes sustainable practices. Menus are designed to reflect seasonal changes, showcasing the best of local produce.
Guests can enjoy unique culinary experiences, including hands-on cooking classes and outdoor dining under the stars. Each property, such as The Postcard Gir Wildlife Sanctuary and The Postcard Galle in Sri Lanka, provides a distinctive backdrop that enriches the dining experience.
By using indigenous spices and traditional cooking methods, The Postcard Hotel's chefs help guests connect with the local culture and history through food. This commitment to quality ingredients and local flavours enhances the overall experience for those looking to immerse themselves in the region's culinary landscape.
