The concept of cheese tourism

Gastronomic tourism, which is a combination of food and tourism, has become a very popular form of travel. Cheese tourism, which is a part of gastronomy tourism, has recently emerged as a form of tourism that attracts the attention of tourists. Cheese tourism is a type of niche tourism where the travel motivation is to visit places where cheese is produced, especially in rural areas. There are many cheese tourism destinations around the world that offer different experiences. Regions where cheese tourism is carried out are significantly affected by the economic contribution of this tourism. Cheese tourism is a cultural identity and is important in preserving and promoting local heritage. Thanks to tourism, traditional cheese-making processes are transmitted from generation to generation and protected against modernization. These experiences enable tourists to have a deeper understanding of the history and cultural diversity of the region.
