As the new normal continues, transformational thinking with a focus on sustainable and responsible development of alternative forms of tourism is taking roots. Interest in slow tourism is surging in the pandemic times due to the growing demand for immersive experiences as consumer seek self-enrichment. Based on review of limited literature, this study develops a slow tourism model with a predetermined set of indicators modified to make them location specific. These indicators relate to three broad dimensions: authenticity, equity and social capital. In summary, this study examines slow tourism in a suburban town of Arizona (United States). It also aims to suggest a slow tourism corridor to promote locally-grown produce and authentic heritage. Based on the study results, a slow food corridor will suggest a sustainable tourism trail with heritage touch points that hold potential to promote cooperation between the various stakeholders of slow food tourism.
