The Role of Crafts in the Development of Gastronomic Tourism

Abstract

Gastronomic tourism is an important direction in the development of the tourism sector and the economy, subject to an increase in the level of integration with hotel and restaurant complexes and craft industries. With the start of the war in Ukraine, there was a shortage of food products, but small local producers saved the cities from a humanitarian catastrophe. Craft cheese dairies, which before the war were focused on the tourism business, increased production volumes and provided the population with high-quality dairy products. The development of gastronomic tourism is also associated with the implementation of international projects in Ukraine.
