Gastronomy as a State Strategy
How countries are using gastronomy to strengthen competitiveness, international influence and economic development.
Across the world, gastronomy is becoming much more than culture or tourism.
Governments are increasingly recognising it as a strategic policy capable of enhancing destination competitiveness, attracting investment, strengthening country branding, increasing exports and generating sustainable economic growth.
