Hidden Agendas is an exciting, new sustainable tourism product. You select your preferred dates, gather your fellow food enthusiasts, and define your theme – small-town charm, indigenous culture and cuisine, global flavours, farm-to-table experiences, or perhaps a plant-based focus. Then, leave the planning to our award-winning Culinary Experiences Curator, Lise Hines. Three days before your chosen date, she sends you your personalized itinerary, promising surprises that will tantalize your taste buds and leave you craving more.
Here are the ways that Hidden Agendas is a sustainable tourism product:
Minimizes travel distance
You can choose any destination within BC that interests you, and Chew On This will design a tour that covers the most interesting and delicious places in that area. Choose to use local transportation options, such as buses, trains, or bikes, to get around.
Maximizes your tour time
You can spend as much time as you want on your tour, depending on your availability and preferences. Opt to extend your tour to multiple days, if you want to explore more regions and cuisines. It’s also possible to take a deeper look at one location.
Relaxes the mind
You don’t have to worry about planning, booking, or paying for anything, as everything is taken care of by Chew On This. You just have to show up and savour every moment of your customized culinary expedition. You can also enjoy the element of surprise, as you don’t know what to expect until three days before your tour.
