In 2017 Buenaventura, Colombia, was named a City of Gastronomy by UNESCO in recognition of the city's unique food culture. The honor is well known among residents of the city as well as tourists who visit. It's obvious that the selection of Buenaventura by UNESCO has brought awareness to local recipes, cooking practices, and chefs and has provided a boost to the city's tourism industry.

Text 2

Many people in Buenaventura's restaurant industry hoped that food tourism would increase after the city was chosen as City of Gastronomy in 2017. However, as researcher Eerang Park and colleagues argue, cities must still create effective marketing strategies to benefit fully from being named a City of Gastronomy. Without an intentional effort to promote the city's food scene, many current and potential visitors to Buenaventura may not even be aware that it's home to uniquely delicious food.
