Nicusor Dan, an independent candidate in the presidential elections, believes that the gastronomic potential of our country can be used as a country brand, by including the gastronomic component in tourist activities.
"I had a meeting with representatives of small local agricultural producers from all over Romania (...). Romania has a gastronomic potential that can be used as a country brand.
Food in Romania is very diversified from region to region and all foreign and Romanian tourists appreciate our food, so Romania must develop this direction as a brand.
The Romanian state needs to support the promotion of traditional products, both in Romania and in the diaspora. The gastronomic component needs to be supported in tourism activities that the Romanian state supports.
Romania's commercial attachés need to have this as a concern and the state also needs to support food education, starting from a young age, because it means health and preserving a local and national identity," said Nicusor Dan, on Sunday, at his campaign headquarters, after meeting with representatives of the "Romania with Good Taste" initiative.
According to Nicusor Dan, one way the state can support food education is "when providing food in schools, hospitals, we need to turn to the local producers in our neighbourhood."
