Chios is exploring the connection between the agri-food sector, tourism, and culture through a thematic workshop, ‘CHIOS FOOD TOUR’. Local professionals learned about the potential of gastronomic tourism to enhance businesses and boost the regional economy. The workshop highlighted the importance of educating the public on fair local products and addressing the island’s raw material shortages. The initiative included visits to local production facilities and collaboration with island chefs to create traditional recipes, aligning with the ‘Taste like Chios’ campaign aimed at promoting local culinary heritage.
