The Power of Gastronomy Tourism | |
|
The social and economic impact of gastronomy tourism beyond the farm-to-table chain includes the transformative influence of urban food chains and the positive effects on the younger generations– countering the effects of globalization and capitalism by reconnecting them with their culinary roots and fostering a holistic understanding of their ecosystem.
Education and campaigns are effective tools for promoting gastronomy tourism, with the entire experience viewed as an educational process that attracts visitors while promoting local produce.
Gastronomy is also recognized as a vehicle for equality, involving entire communities in tourism projects centered around food and culture and using gastronomy tourism as a means to support their current careers without the need to change their way of living. International recognition, such as the Michelin stars, might not be able to reach the smaller food businesses, it is nonetheless a means to give the broader food provider scene more visibility.

Yangzhou was one of the wealthiest cities in China, known at various periods for its great merchant families, poets, artists, and scholars. Being wealthy, people here have been able to appreciate and refine their cuisine. This is a small quiet city with a long history and was named as City of Gastronomy by UNESCO in 2019. Fine workmanship and fresh ingredients are the two characteristics of Yangzhou cuisine.
Famous Jiangsu dishes include Braised Meat Balls in Brown Sauce, Squirrel-Shaped Mandarin Fish, Yangzhou Fried Rice, Wensi Tofu, and Fenzhen Noodles. The Squirrel Mandarin Fish is regarded as the traditional fish to celebrate family occasions, holidays, and banquets. Yangzhou Fried Rice is one of the famous dishes served at NYC banquets.
