Punctele gastronomice locale (PGL) din România: considerații introductive

Abstract

Although the legislative framework has referred to local gastronomic points (PGLs) since 2008, these are a relatively recent initiative in Romania. Local gastronomic points aim to promote culinary tradi­tions and local resources by integrating them into rural tourism offerings. In this article, we aim to pro­vide an introductory analysis of the role that PGLs play in the development of gastronomic tourism, while also highlighting their importance at the local level, as they are a valuable tool for sustainable tour­ism and the revitalization of rural Romania.
