TELLING the Filipino story one meal, one market, one proud community at a time. Filipino food and gastronomy was on the spotlight as the Department of Tourism (DOT) on Wednesday (May 28) held “Salo-Salo: Taste the Flavor, Experience the Culture” to launch the Strategic Framework and Roadmap for Food and Gastronomy Tourism, and Market Tourism as a new tourism sub-product in the Philippines.
The twin launch, led by Tourism Secretary Christina Garcia-Frasco, brought together national and local government officials, tourism industry leaders, culinary experts, and advocates for cultural preservation.
These programs are part of the DOT’s strategic thrust to position the Philippines as a must-visit culinary tourism destination while uplifting community-based tourism through the revitalization of public markets as cultural hubs.
