Gastronomic Tourism: Discovering the World through Culinary Journeys

Gastronomy is a fundamental aspect of culture and the food and cuisine of any region can provide rich insights into the local lifestyle and traditions.
Gastronomic tourism therefore involves visiting food producers, restaurants, food festivals or other establishments where visitors can dine and experience the typical products of a region. It is an enjoyable way for tourists to discover the cultural heritage of the places they visit and culinary pleasure is becoming an increasingly decisive factor when choosing a travel destination.

In certain regions, gastronomy has been recognised as an Intangible Cultural Heritage (by UNESCO) and the promotion of local traditional cuisine can be a way to rediscover and preserve local or regional values through culinary riches. Gastronomic tourism is also a factor of economic improvement for different destinations, particularly in developing countries.
