Like in all forms of tourism inputs, sensory elements influence the experience in many ways.  Each sense may be highlighted for a particular type of tour, yet the other senses are always in the background and contribute to an opportunity for a multisensory event. For example, in culinary tourism, taste of a meal or the gustation may be in the forefront, yet the others can contribute to the enjoyment (or displeasure). Tasting unique cuisine is enhanced by the visual attractiveness of the setting, the tactile feeling of the food, the aroma lifting from the plate and the chatter in the setting from the kitchen.

What this election in 2024 is really about is Freedom.
