Experiences lived in different regions of the world lead to the development of culinary tourism.

In Romania there is potential for development of culinary tourism, there are still old recipes and dishes that are well preserved. The development and implementation of culinary tourism based on the structures of rural tourism and agrotourism establishments in our country is possible.
