Willowbrook, Illinois (November 12, 2025) – Leisure Group Travel, the leading media resource for group travel professionals, announces a new initiative in advance of its annual February edition that celebrates culinary tourism across the United States.
Recognizing that many individuals and families continue to face food insecurity amid ongoing economic challenges, Leisure Group Travel will donate $200 to a local food bank of each advertiser’s choice for every ad package sold before December 15.
The February edition of Leisure Group Travel will showcase destinations and experiences that highlight the nation’s diverse culinary heritage—from local food trails and farm-to-table movements to group-friendly dining experiences and food tours. This donation initiative reinforces the publication’s commitment to the destinations featured within its pages, recognizing that supporting travel also means supporting the people who form the heart of these cities.
“Helping local communities is a core mission of the travel industry,” said Jeff Gayduk, publisher of Leisure Group Travel. “While we’re proud to spotlight destinations and their incredible culinary traditions, we also recognize that many of the individuals facing food insecurity are the very people who make these communities thrive—the farmers, restaurant workers and hospitality staff who form the backbone of local economies. This initiative is our way of giving back to them.”
