Possibilities of promoting gastronomic tourism in the Republic of Moldova

Abstract

Gourmet holidays are the best opportunities to discover new wine varieties or traditional culinary dishes. The Republic of Moldova has a poorly developed gastronomic tourism potential, but this is highlighted by the existence of specific dishes that are appreciated locally and regionally, alongside traditional pastry products: peasant bread, colaci, pies, baba, salami, etc., and locally specific culinary preparations based on vegetables, fresh and dried fruit, jams, pickles, homemade cured meats, natural juices and syrups, herbal teas, beekeeping products, etc.).
