Enogastronomy in Northern Portugal: Destination Cooperation and Regional Identity

Abstract

This study aims to understand how conflicting stakeholders' interests and agendas of the public, private and non-profit sectors may affect the management of the tourism destination identity. It focuses on Northern Portugal, a geographical area with contrasting characteristics, ranging from coastal urban areas to rural hinterland, each dealing with different development issues. The study is qualitative in nature, being carried out using indepth interviews conducted with various stakeholders (public, private and non-profit sectors) at three wine regions located in Northern Portugal. Data was examined through content analysis. The findings suggest that there is an evident lack of cooperation between the food-and-wine and the tourism sectors in the three

Ecological Entrepreneurship in Wine-Producing Micro-Enterprises in the Lower Silesian Voivodeship

“…In the case of external conditions, the most important were, as already indicated, natural and geographical conditions. Rachão et al (2019) also indicated that the specific features of the region determine the development of the enotourism offer and the formation of territorial identity. These issues, therefore, have a significant impact on the development of the wine industry because, thanks to them, it is possible to attract tourists interested in both enotourism and enogastronomy (wine and gastronomy), as well as taking advantage of other attractions offered by entrepreneurs.…”

Uma análise da identidade gastronômica de um destino turístico do vinho, com base em comunicações digitais

“…Estudos anteriores consideraram a gastronomia no contexto do enoturismo, como o de Rachão et al (2019) que forneceu uma visão teórica sobre a relação entre as partes envolvidas com alimentos, vinhos e turismo e como esta colaboração pode influenciar a identidade de um destino/território, também o de Gabardo e Valduga (2021) que fizeram recortes em relatos de experiências de enoturistas para analisar quais fatores contribuíram para uma viagem memorável e de alto valor agregado, assim como a pesquisa de Silva et al (2016) que analisou a relação do vinho e gastronomia do Vale dos Vinhedos como produto turístico e levou em consideração suas dinâmicas territoriais.…”

Pairing Co-Creation with Food and Wine Experiences—A Holistic Perspective of Tourist Experiences in Dão, a Portuguese Wine Region

“…Due to their contributions to regional and local development, food, wine and other local products were increasingly acknowledged as central to unique, immersive and rural tourist experiences, yet the corresponding dynamics still require a better understanding [12][13][14][15][16]. With visitors becoming more interested in assuming a central role in tourism experiences, analysing how they become involved in these experiences and understanding their expectations is crucial.…”
