HENRIQUES, Cláudia e CUSTODIO, Maria João. Tourism and Gastronomy: The valuation of Algarve´s Gastronomic Heritage. Encontros Científicos [online]. 2010, n.6, pp.69-81. ISSN 1646-2408.
Gastronomy can be an important local, regional and country tourist and cultural attraction. Portugal is recognized as one of the best food and wine destinations in Europe and the "Gastronomy and Wines" product is identified as representing untapped potential for tourism by the National Strategic Plan of Tourism for Portugal (2006-2015) In Algarve, this product is regarded as a secondary motivation for almost all strategic products for the region. In this context, and recognizing the importance of gastronomy, this paper aims to present a project developed by the School of Management, Hospitality and Tourism of Algarve University in 2008/2009 and 2009/2010. The project looks to understand the value of traditional gastronomy as intangible heritage through restaurants located in regional marinas and recreational ports. A menus analysis and a set of interviews was carried out on restauranteurs.
