Resumen
Descripción
To meet the growing consumer demand for seasonal, local foods, the purpose of this guide is to advise those working in the hotel, restaurant, catering (HoReCa) and tourism sectors on the many benefits and challenges of an efficient local sourcing strategy. It highlights successful ways to source local food products and ingredients, offering examples of international best practice. The guide also contains insights on how to contact and work with local producers who supply restaurants, hotels, guesthouses, caterers or agritourism businesses, to promote the best local products of a region or country.
Local food sourcing strengthens links between HoReCa tourist businesses and farmers. It makes for a better guest experience, improves sustainability, gives local suppliers greater market access and creates business and employment opportunities in rural areas. It also promotes biodiversity, preserves traditional food production methods, reduces food waste and brings tourism revenue to more diverse rural areas.
