| Summary: | This case study focuses on the local gastronomy perception of visitors. Through an analysis of Catalan gastronomy (Spain), including its traditional dishes and products of local cuisine, the aim is to show how gastronomy is integrated into local culture. Gastronomy is part of the cultural heritage of a destination and is part of the identity of the place, how do visitors perceive this fact?

The present case study compares the perception of local gastronomy of local students with the perception of international students visiting and experiencing Catalan gastronomy for the first time |
