Santo Domingo, June 21, 2018 –<\/strong> Chef Leandro D\u00edaz recently revealed that if Dominican hotels added a greater variety of local cuisine to the menus offered to tourists in the \u201call inclusive\u201d packages, it would improve the quality of service, strengthen national production, and increase the reasons why people would want to travel to the country.<\/p>\n

Diaz, also known as the Dominican \u201cCountry Brand Chef,\u201d made his recommendations during the conference on \u201cDominican Gastronomy as a Tool to Strengthen Tourism\u201d sponsored by the Superior Community Technical Institute.<\/p>\n

Diaz highlighted that although the Dominican Republic currently is the Caribbean\u2019s number one destination, it is important to continue introducing strategies that will help strengthen the industry.\u00a0 The best way, he added, is by trying to present tour culture through our most original and authentic dishes.<\/p>\n

He also explained that hotels can attract more tourists by reproducing the cultural experiences of local neighborhoods, such as the neighborhood grocery store \u2013 known locally as the colmadones<\/em> \u2013 as well as street vendors and peddlers, just to mention some of the activities that represent the friendly character of Dominicans.<\/p>\n

The seminar Gastronomy and Culture was organized by Gloria Vald\u00e9s, the Institute\u2019s tourism coordinator.\u00a0 Participants included hundreds of students and professionals from various universities.\u00a0 All enjoyed the remarks delivered by the invited chefs, historians and tourism experts who discussed how gastronomy could stengthen the local tourism industry. Some experts discussed the history behind Dominican gastronomy and its cultural value as well as the Dominican gastronomic route, among other issues.<\/p>\n

The seminar is part of the UNESCO program that works to highlight and promote gastronomy as an intangible cultural heritage of the people, and encourages the industry to take advantage of gastronomic tourism.<\/p>\n

Participants also included historian Samuel Bison\u00f3, chef Diana Munn\u00e9 \u2013 president of Adochefs – chef Martin Omar (Restaurante Dos Mundos), Milka Hern\u00e1ndez, director of national tourism production from the Ministry of Tourism, and Bol\u00edvar Troncoso and Juan Febles from the foundation \u201cSabores Dominicanos.\u201d<\/p>\n
