Turismo gastronómico y enológico
Para muchos destinos, la preparación culinaria y la elaboración de vinos forman parte integral de su historia e identidad y se han convertido en el elemento clave de la imagen de marca de la nación. La gastronomía y el turismo enológico representan una oportunidad de revitalizar y diversificar el turismo, promover el desarrollo económico local, involucrar a numerosos sectores profesionales distintos y ofrecer nuevos usos al sector primario. Por lo tanto, la gastronomía y el turismo enológico contribuyen a promover y crear la marca de los destinos, manteniendo y preservando las tradiciones locales y la diversidad, y aprovechando y recompensando la autenticidad.
El Comité de Turismo y Competitividad (CTC) define el turismo gastronómico como un tipo de actividad turística que se caracteriza por el hecho de que la experiencia del visitante cuando viaja está vinculada con la comida y con productos y actividades afines. Además de experiencias gastronómicas auténticas, tradicionales o innovadoras, el turismo gastronómico puede implicar también otras actividades afines tales como la visita a productores locales, la participación en festivales gastronómicos y la asistencia a clases de cocina.
Por su parte, el enoturismo, un subtipo de turismo gastronómico, consiste en el turismo que tiene por propósito visitar viñedos y bodegas, realizar catas, y consumir o comprar vino, a menudo en el lugar en que se elabora o en sus cercanías.

Product Development
The UN Tourism Gastronomy Tourism Product Development Project in Ubud was developed with the Ministry of Tourism and Creative Economy with the aim of growing gastronomy tourism as a pillar of cultural and gastronomic heritage and boost the local economy, create jobs and drive sustainable and inclusive development.
The Joyful Journey introduces an innovative methodology to identify the existing relationship of the wineries and their surroundings, including their influences on local and regional history, socio-economics and culture. This relationship created the framework for a product to experience Spain through its wineries and the environment in which they have developed. This methodological tool can be adapted and replicated in different regions to help destinations to be promoted through their oenological framework which will also help emphasize other aspects such as culture, history and tradition.
The project was carried out in Spain in collaboration with Affiliate Member Leading Brands in Spain Forum and with the participation of five major Spanish wineries from different wine regions: Galicia, La Rioja, Penedés, Priorato, Ribera del Duero, Somontano, Toledo and Toro.

Guidelines for the Development of Gastronomy Tourism
The Guidelines for the Development of Gastronomy Tourism have been developed by UN Tourism and the Basque Culinary Center (BCC), a UN Tourism affiliate member, as part of its long-term collaboration. The guidelines aim to serve as a practical toolkit to support the development of gastronomy tourism in destinations by providing recommendations on key aspects such as planning and management by national tourism administrations (NTAs), national tourism organizations (NTOs) and destination management organizations (DMOs).
Gastronomy Tourism – The Case of Japan
The report on Gastronomy Tourism – The Case of Japan, prepared with the support of the Japan Travel and Tourism Association (JTTA) and Gurunavi, looks at the awareness of gastronomy tourism as a concept in Japan. Based on a survey with the main players in the country, results show that while gastronomy tourism is little-known, activities around this sector exist across the nation.
The report features 18 different case studies of gastronomy tourism activities in Japan, ranging from local Sake breweries to hotel trains. These examples show how gastronomy tourism has been turned into a development tool, inclusion and regional integration in Japan.

Affiliate Members Global Report, Volume 4 – Global Report on Food Tourism
The Global Report on Food Tourism, Volume No.4 of the UN Tourism Affiliate Members' series of in-depth reports explores the links between tourism and food. For many of the world's billions of tourists, returning to familiar destinations to enjoy tried and tested recipes or travelling further afield in search of new and special cuisine, gastronomy has become a central part of the tourism experience. Against this background, food tourism has gained increasing attention over the past years. Tourists are attracted to local produce and many destinations are centring their product development and marketing accordingly. With food so deeply connected to its origin, this focus allows destinations to market themselves as truly unique and appealing to those travellers who look to feel part of their destination through its flavours. The report analyses the current situation of Food Tourism, through a survey of the UN Tourism Affiliate Members as well as the reflections of professionals with extensive experience in international organizations, destination management, tourism companies and the training schools.
