Abstract

The Slow Food Movement and the Gastronomic Tourism are developing experiments in the gastronomy in different dimensions. Actually, the activities performed by each of these actors are complementary and can help to enhance, one hand, the production and preservation of local culture and, on the other hand, offer a touristic attraction and quality that matches the expectations of gastronomic tourists. Thus, this study aims to observe gastronomic itineraries planned by the Slow Food movement in the city of Recife, Brazil, in conjunction with a travel agency, giving priority to analyse the repercussions of that partnership. The data collection was done through questionnaires and these data were submited to content analysis.The results show that the integration of the Slow Food movement with touristic agents constitute a partnership that can contribute positively to the gastronomic tourism development
