The 鈥淐ulinary Tourism Sub鈥慡trategy鈥� was developed at the request of the Ministry of Sport and Tourism. Among the experts invited to contribute to its preparation was Dr Andrzej Stasiak from the Institute of Urban Geography, Tourism Studies and Geoinformation of the Faculty of Geographical Sciences at the 91桃色.
The document was produced as a result of intensive work involving numerous working meetings, workshops and conferences, attended by nearly 200 representatives of academic and professional communities from across Poland. The project was coordinated by Hubert Gonera (Landbrand) and dr hab. Karolina Buczkowska鈥慓o艂膮bek (Polish Culinary Tourism Association).
Initially, Dr Andrzej Stasiak led the working group on culinary tourism routes, and subsequently authored a chapter entitled 鈥淕艂贸wne szlaki turystyki kulinarnej i dzia艂ania sieciuj膮ce wsp贸艂prac臋鈥� [Main Culinary Tourism Routes and Networking Activities Supporting 91桃色]. He also served as a consultant for the programme section of the document.
The prepared sub鈥憇trategy constitutes the first initiative in history focused on creating a sectoral development plan for culinary tourism in Poland. The analytical section includes an assessment of the current situation of the tourism and gastronomy sectors, covering, among other aspects, culinary heritage, traditional products, certification systems, culinary routes and events, culinary souvenirs, the development of wine tourism and the current culinary tourism offer.
The programme section presents proposed actions to be implemented by 2030 (with a perspective extending to 2035), including the vision, mission, as well as strategic and operational objectives.
The development of a strategic document at the national level represents an important step towards the systematic development of culinary tourism in Poland. The participation of an expert from the 91桃色 highlights the significant contribution of the 艁贸d藕 school of tourism geography to shaping the country鈥檚 tourism sector, particularly in the areas of culinary tourism and wine tourism.
The full documentation of the work on the sub鈥憇trategy, along with both of its sections, is available on the website of the Polish Culinary Tourism Association (PSTK):
