Abstract(s)
The Dão Lafões and Alto Paiva Region (DLAPR) of Portugal includes five
municipalities: Oliveira de Frades, S. Pedro do Sul, Vila Nova de Paiva, Viseu, and
Vouzela. This region has a total area of 1,372,000 km2 and approximately 142,000
inhabitants.
The DLAPR offers a set of differentiating local products, associated mostly
with agricultural and animal production. These are promoted through different
strategies, with special emphasis on organizing food events. These events can play
a vital role in promoting small regions with fewer tourism opportunities.This study aimed to identify all of the food events taking place in the five DLAPR municipalities and analyze their role in communicating the local products and gastronomic identity of the DLAPR.
