Can gastronomic tourism help to improve the quality of life in a region?

This presentation will explore gastronomy's potential to transform regions beyond the realm of mere tourist attractions. Erik Wolf will analyse how experiences linked to food, local producers and culinary traditions can improve quality of life in communities, create new economic opportunities and promote more balanced tourism models. It will be a reflection on how eating, travelling and getting to know a place can become tools for preserving identity and building more vibrant, sustainable destinations.
