Certified culinary heritage is becoming a cornerstone for destinations aiming to attract discerning tourists. Certifications, such as Geographical Indications (GIs), ensure authenticity, quality, and the connection between food and its origin. For example, Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese in Italy and Darjeeling tea in India have gained global recognition due to these certifications, boosting local economies and drawing visitors interested in authentic gastronomic experiences.
