How to promote your city via its gastronomy and food products?
Food has always been a key item not only to bring people together, but also to attract them. As such, many cities are using it as a token for touristic development, branding and marketing. Some have developed gastronomic strategies - with the creation of brands or producers’ clubs, or taking part in European competitions, others develop their own labels, or specific touristic paths.
