Country food, rural tourism

For most rural tourism, food is only a useful supplement to enjoying the beautiful scenery, feeling the country life and relaxing. For other trips, food is a kind of motivation. In order to satisfy the enjoyment of taste, people travel all the way to the countryside to taste the characteristic rural food, and "eating" has become the driving force to go to the countryside.

1. Gourmet is a major driving force for rural tourism

Especially in recent years, with the prosperity of urban life, after the "baptism" of big fish and big meat, urban people's stomachs are increasingly favoring the "ecological nature" and "simplicity" of rural cuisine, and the attraction of rural cuisine to tourists far exceeds everyone's imagination.

gourmet, light start rural tourism. For rural areas, gourmet tourism can build local brands, enhance the attraction of tourist destinations, promote multi-industry development, increase employment and even entrepreneurial opportunities, but it does not require large-scale infrastructure, and is an effective driving force for rural development. Scholar Sarah and others (? Ela,et al.) found that gourmet tourism significantly promoted the development of local industries such as catering, food, retail, accommodation and transportation in rural areas and towns, with a multiplier benefit of 1.65 for rural residents' income and 1.29 for rural employment. The demand of tourists and the promotion of rural development make rural cuisine an important starting point for stimulating rural economy and tourism development.

Many villages lacking characteristic natural resources have become popular tourist destinations with their characteristic food. Ten wins in Japan, for example, are famous all over the country for their healthy and delicious food. Although there are not many "scenic spots" in the Ten Wins-compared with Sapporo, Otaru and Furano in Hokkaido, which are familiar to most people in China, the Japanese are all very excited when they mention the Ten Wins, and their first reaction is "delicious"; A rainbow trout ditch in Huairou, Beijing, after nearly 3 years of development, delicious labels have been deeply rooted in people's hearts and become the core driving force of local tourism; The casserole fish in Tianmu Lake in Liyang set fire to Tianmu Lake Scenic Area. Xuyi won the right to host this year's "Jiangsu Rural Tourism Festival" with the advantages of crayfish and big tourism? There are countless places that have benefited greatly from rural cuisine.

2. What is the charm of rural cuisine?

1. Locality, the soul of rural cuisine

What kind of charm does seemingly simple rural cuisine have that supports the development of the whole village? Rural cuisine has distinctive local characteristics and is irreplaceable, which is very similar to the concept of "real estate sales" in Japan. "Real estate sales" is a mouth-watering word in Japan. If any food is marked with "real estate for sale", it means at least three things: first, it is unique to the local area and cannot be eaten elsewhere; Second, this is the freshest and most watery food. If you must take it to other places, it can only be fresh and tasteless. Third, this is the local people's credit guarantee for the food. If you eat here, I will take full responsibility for it if it is not delicious.

therefore, the most prominent feature of rural cuisine is locality. The raw materials must be locally produced, the production method must be local traditional technology, the ingredients, seasonings and even water used must be local, and the local "earth" utensils must be used, which is the authentic rural cuisine and indispensable. This is also one of the important characteristics of French rural cuisine. In order to reflect the characteristics of rural cuisine, local cooking methods must be used, and tableware must be made of coarse pottery, porcelain or other representative materials.
