“Taste-It Food Tours is exactly that – a business that provides foodie tours in Saskatchewan cities and venues. Patrons join a tour guide, and over a three-hour trek, visit up to five restaurants and venues to sample signature dishes and beverages. Along the way, they are regaled with historical information about the area or information about the venues they are visiting or the food they will be sampling!”

 

3. Why did you decide to work in the culinary / foodie tour industry?

“This is an opportunity for patrons to interact with a special kind of tour – they not only learn the history but they also partake in great food and hospitality!”

4. What are your future plans, projects or goals for Taste-It Food Tours?

“Taste-It Food Tours plans to expand to Saskatoon for the 2016 Season.” (eh) Congratulations on your success! As we can attest to – to expand a business you must be doing what you do very well. 

5. Tell us an interesting story about Taste-It Food Tours?

“Food tours are trending across the continent and beyond! I attended food tours in Scottsdale and Phoenix for two winters before someone mentioned that Saskatchewan might be a good fit for food tours. I decided Moose Jaw would be a good place to start because of its historical emphasis initially, but really, it is such an intimate little city – it’s the perfect start to a business such as this!” (eh) Your research has obviously paid off in spades in developing a good business model.

6. In your opinion what are the key reasons tourists should pick Saskatchewan to travel to?

“Saskatchewan has so much to offer! Yes, we can see as far as the eye can see and yes, our geography in the lower plains may be flat, but beyond all that, we have a rich historical and cultural story to tell. Key reasons to visit? Cypress Hills; Waskesiu; Moose Jaw, our tourist haven; the beautiful Saskatchewan Legislative Building, Saskatoon, Wascana Lake, our great food!!!”  (eh) Saskatchewan offers a personality and amazing experiences no other province can offer. If we were to offer one piece of advice when exploring Saskatchewan it would be, “Get off the Trans Canada Hwy”.  Much of what makes Saskatchewan great is found on the secondary highways and roads. 

7. What do you like the most about the people you meet who sign up for your tours?

“Our patrons are proving to be from a variety of markets! While we initially believed we would be more appealing to tourists, I am finding that Saskatchewan residents have been our largest market to date. Having said that, both tourists and residents alike are amazed with our great culture and food choices that we have in our midst. ” (eh) Love it! Staycations, backyard tourism and visiting tourists from around the world are all an important part of growing our Tourism Industry in Canada. 

8. In your experience where do most visitors come from when attending your tours and what do they have in common?

“As far as tourists are concerned, we have had patrons from BC to Nova Scotia to Yellowknife! Predominantly, however, most patrons are from Saskatchewan! They all enjoy great food, great hospitality and meeting new people!”

9. Please give us some insight on what, you see, as the biggest mistake visiting travelers do?

“Although I believe this is changing, I’ve heard, in the past, that travelers often overlook what Saskatchewan can offer them.”

10. What do you see as the biggest challenges in the future of tourism in Saskatchewan?

“The economy has its ups and downs; hopefully, the state of the Canadian $$ will not only entice people to ‘stay-cation’ but also entice our neighbours to the South to visit more frequently!”  (eh) Agreed!
