WIGATI’23 - ​WINE, GASTRONOMY AND TOURISM INNOVATION
Global tourism is growing fast. Hence, there is enormous competition between tourist destinations and intangible cultural heritage has a local and regional role, unique and preponderant in attracting tourists. It is here that Wine, Gastronomy, Tourism and Innovation can come together to jointly enhance, stimulate, diversify and promote local and regional economic development, boosting the potential of the primary sector with technological innovation.
The World Tourism Organization defines Gastronomic Tourism as a type of tourist activity characterized by the visitor's experience linked to food and related products and activities during the trip. Wine Tourism, in turn, is considered a subtype of Gastronomic Tourism associated with tourism aimed at visiting wineries, vineyards, sector events and tasting, consuming and/or purchasing wine and/or sparkling wine, which in many cases can be carried out at the producer's own facilities and/or in the region of origin.
The WIGATI'23 session aims at the presentation of papers, in a scientific context, that allow to innovate, explore and combine Tourism and Technology with the potential that Wine and Gastronomy have in the cultural and intangible heritage.
