Abstract
In recent years there has been a significant growth of interest in regional gastronomic brands. In this chapter the authors analyze the structure, content, and individual characteristics of the gastronomic industry as a key component of regional tourism. The apparent interest in the gastronomic component stems from tourists’ desire to obtain a deeper understanding of the specificities of the area they are visiting and their wish to diversify and intensify the impressions garnered on their trips.
This work is a product of the research project “Research on the creative potential of cultural tourism development,” implemented as part of the Basic Research Program at the National Research University Higher School of Economics (HSE) in 2015.
