Of enogastronomical and touristic products.

Vinexus Consulting

We work on helping to transform agricultural food resources into

marketable tourist products.

Why was Vinexus launched?

An opportunity was detected: •The possibility of working on the core competencies between food industry & tourism.From a weakness:Both industries ignoring the benefits of a co-working project•The tourist sector would be helped in the creation of an attractive, unique and differential tourist offer. • The agricultural food sector would be helped in opening a new trade channel (direct selling) and new marketing opportunities.

The agricultural food small industry:

High atomized and fragmented small industries, much more depending on

individuals than on trade entrepreneurship..

• Marketing: (Most agricultural food product is sold in large commercial areas, where smallholders can hardly access)

• A few points of sale are available for smallholders.• The Horeca channel is experiencing a decreasing sale trend.

Current issues in the agricultural food small industry

We conclude that:•As far as the agricultural food products are key elements to draw/set a territorial identity, the tourism industry has a precious opportunity in using them for developing new, unique and differential tourist experiences.•As far as the trading strategies of the tourism industry are well developed, as much as its proved ability of this in new markets opening, agricultural food smallholders can benefit from this getting new trade channels (direct sale) and new marketing opportunities. •A partnership between tourism industry and local trade (food production, trading and catering trade) is today a great opportunity to enhance both sectors•New promotion and communication strategies are today essential

The tourist sector Tourism is the key element for economical local development Gastronomic tourism must be the gateway to our territory Gastronomy and catering are the most valued experiences by

tourists Agricultural food resources, the catering industry and the

landscape associated to farming are tourist local highlights in agricultural areas.

The catering industry acts as a hinge between tourism and agricultural food small industry.

Gastronomic tourism is the essential element in tourism development. This implies that is has to be enhanced as a tool for promotion and communication:•Fostering the uniqueness of the territory and the diversity of its products (task to be develop by all commercial agents in the tourist destination)•Creating a new value chain between territorial agricultural food sector and tourism sector, linked to producers, local products, traders, chefs and tourist local agents in the area.
