Abstract: In recent years, gastronomy tourism has increasingly been a distinctive form of travel with a significant impact on local economies, leading to important flows of tourists internationally. The international experience in the field is ample and has led to continuous concerns for shaping the model of gastronomic consumption behavior and which is a starting point in the dimensioning of tourism development policies. At the same time, gastronomy tourism is an important factor for the differentiation of the international tourist destinations that are in a continuous and strong competition, a way of asserting and increasing their competitiveness on the tourist market. In this respect, international trends research provides important information to tourism service providers increasingly concerned with the needs of tourists. Last but not least, gastronomic tourism also has a strong social impact, helping to increase the quality of community life and to affirm cultural identity and diversity as a factor of social cohesion.
