| Summary: | Tourism is currently a growing sector of the economy and its possible relevance in community
development is acknowledged. Within tourism CBT has been advanced to counteract negative effects
of mass tourism and as a strategy to facilitate disadvantaged community development. Food tourism
is also on a growing trend. Literature related to food and catering in CBT is present however, a
general framework of relationships between CBT development and food seems absent. Based on the
relevance of these tourism forms this article, which is based on extant literature, aims to propose a
relationship framework between CBT and food. The article advances that it is important to understand
the various aspects of the relationship between CBT and food to enhance the chance of growing
(scaling-up) CBT entities through the combined community-based food tourism (CBFT). Thus various
issues relevant to this framework are mentioned such as matters related to food as a tourist attraction,
to food production and selling, to food standards in CBT. Whilst not pretending to be fully
comprehensive, the article advances the need to comprehend food in CBT from various angles.
