A team of professionals from the public company Sodepal has begun a tour of the island's 14 municipalities to inventory and highlight the value of the companies in the sector that are directly and indirectly related to gastronomic tourism. The initiative, which includes the creation of a web guide and a catalogue of the island's agri-food products, is being developed through the Saborea La Palma project, financed by the Tourism Department of the Cabildo of La Palma.<\/p>\n
Over the next few weeks, visits will be made and working meetings will be held with restaurants, accommodation establishments, businesses and producers in the primary sector, as well as entities and heritage resources linked to gastronomy, in order to find out what they offer and how they work, with the aim of offering them greater visibility and carrying out specific promotions of differentiated gastronomic experiences that awaken and captivate the interest of both residents and all those who visit the island throughout the year.<\/p>\n
Raquel D\u00edaz, Sodepal's CEO and head of Economic Development on the island, has put the number of establishments to be inventoried in the first phase at \"more than half a thousand\", a task with which the public company \"will lay the foundations on which in later stages other actions programmed within the framework of the Saborea La Palma project will be implemented, thus helping to position the businesses linked to the sector\".<\/p>\n
Raquel D\u00edaz acknowledged that this work is \"as arduous as it is necessary in order to assess the real tourist context of La Palma as a destination from a culinary point of view, as well as the current situation and the possibilities of tourist activity linked to products and gastronomic heritage, to promote cuisine linked to the territory and to take advantage of the enormous potential that our gastronomy as a whole has locally and abroad when promoting La Palma as an island with flavours as attractive and diverse as its natural and scenic resources\".<\/p>\n
Likewise, and in its commitment to bring Saborea La Palma closer to the main social and economic agents linked to local gastronomy, Sodepal has called a working meeting with the Island's Business Federations, the Regulatory Councils of the Denominations of Origin of Cheese and Wine of La Palma, the Centres for Tourist Initiatives, as well as the Gastronomic Association of La Palma (AGAP), among others, and the Gastronomic Association of La Palma (AGAP), among others, were invited to a working meeting. Sodepal has informed them of the main actions to be carried out during the last quarter of the year within the framework of this project, and will join forces with them to achieve the programmed objectives.<\/p>\n
