Abstract:
Nowadays, the image that it is perceived by the tourists it is one of the most valuable feedbacks that a tourist destination can have. This is mostly because of the development of Internet, whose platforms let people express theirs thoughts and share their opinions in an open and free scenario. Catalunya is a region with a very rich food heritage since it has a wide range of products, being one of the most bio-diverse regions in Europe thanks to the contact through the centuries with other people and cultures such as Greeks, Romans, Phoenicians, Arabs, Americans, Northern European, etc. (“European Region of Gastronomy,” n.d.). Taking advantage that on the 2016 Catalunya was declared European Region of Gastronomy and enogastronomy, being proud of its cultural heritage and aiming at promoting its food products and gastronomy as relevant elements of the country’s identity, I will focus my investigation in discovering what is the gastronomy image the people have in their minds when they are leaving our country.
