The Cyclades Development Company S.A. invites interested parties to participate in the Thematic Workshop on the topic of “Showcasing Gastronomy and Quality Local Products”, which will take place in Mykonos on March 11 and 12, 2025.
This is an action of the transnational cooperation project “LOCAL TOUR”, implemented within the framework of Sub-measure 19.3 CLLD/LEADER of the Rural Development Program (RDP) 2014-2020 and co-financed by the European Agricultural Fund for Rural Development and the Ministry of Rural Development and Food. The “LOCAL TOUR” cooperation scheme involves transnational cooperation between 20 Local Action Groups from two countries (Greece and Cyprus) with the main objective of developing local, intra-regional, and transnational actions of collective interest, to achieve synergies and create integrated interventions in the field of gastronomic culture.
The free thematic workshop organized by the Cyclades Development Company is addressed to entrepreneurs and employees in the catering or tourism sectors, producers of local products (agricultural, livestock, fishery), entrepreneurs who standardize/process local products, food product traders, and providers of specialized forms of tourism services (gastronomic tourism, hiking tourism, ecotourism).
The thematic workshop will be experiential and will include informing and raising awareness among producers, standardizers, traders, entrepreneurs, and employees in the catering and tourism sectors regarding the concepts of gastronomic tourism, quality local products, and the value of showcasing them as an element of differentiation, attracting visitors, and ensuring the sustainability of local businesses, as well as the actions of the “LOCAL TOUR” cooperation project.
The aim of the workshop is for participants to be informed about the opportunities gastronomic tourism offers to businesses and the economy of our islands, to learn about good examples from other regions, to be trained in the concepts of local gastronomy, local products, their interconnection, their value for each visitor, networking, and cooperation among local businesses, and to become ambassadors of gastronomic tourism for their islands.
The workshop will be held on Tuesday, March 11, 2025 (6:00 PM – 9:00 PM) in the Mykonos Municipality event hall in Matogianni, and on Wednesday, March 12, 2025 (9:30 AM – 3:30 PM) at the premises of chef Eirini Zouganeli in Ano Mera.
