Private travel specialist Gourmet Trails has launched the inaugural Taste The World dining series, running from 4-26 May 2024. The festival demonstrates how food truly transcends boundaries and acts as a conduit for understanding and common purpose.
Taste The World highlights the essence of world cuisines in partnership with Appetite, Hashida, CURE, Canchita, Esquina, Ummi Beirut, and ANJU. Profits from the event will go towards the United Nations World Food Programme.
