1 Synthèse du marché
1.1 Introduction
Food and wine tourism refers to tourism and business activities that involve exploring and experiencing the country's culinary and wine traditions. In Italy, this sector is regulated by the laws and institutions that govern tourism and food and wine, including the Ministry of Agricultural Food and Forestry Policies (MiPAAF), the Ministry of Tourism, and the Italian regions.
The national food and wine tourism market offers a wide range of offerings and products that include:
- Food and wine tours: guided tours of wine cellars, olive groves, farms and production areas of typical products.
- Tastings: tasting experiences of wines, cheeses, olive oil, cured meats and other typical regional food products.
- Regional cuisine: culinary experiences that enable tourists to learn and participate in the preparation of traditional regional dishes.
- Food and wine events: festivals, fairs and events dedicated to the promotion and enhancement of local food products and traditions.
- Food and wine itineraries: thematic routes that guide tourists through Italian regions to discover local specialties and food and wine excellence.
Food and wine tourism in Italy has ancient roots and is based on the country's rich culinary and wine traditions. In the past, as early as 1548, the erudite Hortensio Lando proposed an imaginary journey through Italy, highlighting the importance of getting to know the country through its gastronomic and wine specialties. [Taccuinigastrosofici] Italy is world famous for its varied regional cuisine and fine wines. The key players in this market are farms, wineries, restaurants, chefs, wine and food associations, specialized travel agencies and tourism institutions.
In Italy, food and wine tourism has returned to pre-pandemic levels, recording more than 5 billion euros. And half of this was achieved thanks to the wine sector and winery visits.[Coldiretti]
This study will analyze various economic aspects regarding this type of tourism, while the analysis of complementary markets, such as wine production or the country's various gastronomic specialties, are deferred to other specific Businesscoot studies.
