Gourmet tourism is an experiential trip to a gastronomic region, for recreational or entertainment purposes, which includes visits to producers of food, gastronomic festivals, farmers’ markets, cooking shows and demonstrations, tastings of quality food products or any tourism activity related to food. In recent years, it has grown considerably and has become one of the most dynamic and creative segments of tourism. Over a third of tourist spending is devoted to food. Furthermore, gourmet tourists have higher-than-average expenditure, they are demanding and appreciative, and they eschew uniformity. Therefore, gastronomy cannot become a bland and anonymous product; it must have personality, because otherwise it will become vulnerable, de-localized and subject to adulteration. Cross-border destinations are not fully aware of the importance of gastronomy in order to diversify tourism and stimulate local, regional and national economic development. Therefore, the overall project objective is to create a common brand- Eat Pannonia (EP), for the promotion of new developed tourism products. The cuisine of the cross-border destinations will be an aspect of utmost importance in the quality of the holiday experience. The project will gather authentic food and recipies, perserve them and disseminate them through two gourmet centres (in Vrdnik and Vinkovci) and further promote them with ICT tool. The experience of gastronomic tourism will the main reason or motivation to travel for visitors to cross-border tourism destination or at least one significat reason. Eat Pannonia will include products that discourse ethical and sustainable values based on the territory, the landscape, local culture, local products and authenticity. Tourism, particularly food tourism, will allow rural communities to generate income and employment opportunities locally, providing jobs for vineyard tour guides or local chefs, while fuelling other sectors of the local economy such as agriculture.
