EDEN 2014 Latvia destinations - Tourism and Local Gastronomy

ended

The objective of the Project is to select EDEN destinations in Latvia based on national competition that result in the award of one tourist destination of excellence and up to 4 runners-up that correspond this year theme of excellence „Tourism and local gastronomy”. With this year competition it is great possibility to show our local gastronomy offer which stems from Latvia's ecological produce and its consumption due to which jobs have been created in both farming and tourism sectors. Local residents can also experience an enhanced accessibility to eco-produce. In bio-farming the natural habitats preserved and, in facilitating tours for connoisseurs of fine food it is possible at the same time to familiarize tourists with cultural values, the national cuisine, a demonstration of the art of the chef and to develop the 'slow food' offer, and so on. The recipients of the award will be emerging, non-traditional and little-known destinations. Rewarded will be those destinations which have developed a specific tourism offer based on their specific local gastronomy which have been implemented at least since 2012.
