The golden cuisine of Zlatograd-Kirkovo

The territory of Kirkovo-Zlatograd Local Initiative Group still has a considerable untapped potential for developing alternative forms of tourism and attracting new groups of tourists. The implementation of this project aims to preserve and promote the authentic local cuisine and culinary traditions in the area of the municipalities of Zlatograd and Kirkovo as part of the intangible cultural heritage in the Rhodopes and a platform for development of culinary, cultural and ecotourism in the destination. Target groups of the project are: - young people up to 29 years - 35 persons; - tourists, entrepreneurs and tourism staff - app. 500 persons; - locals from the municipalities of Zlatograd and Kirkovo - at least 600 persons. The project envisages the implementation of "soft measures" for the preservation of the intangible cultural and natural heritage through activities for collecting authentic local recipes and related traditions and customs, preserving them in the form of prescriptions and recipe cards, developing a tourist brochure for the Zlatograd-Kirkovo destination as a route for culinary, cultural and ecotourism. The project will create a new tourist product - the “Golden Cuisine” Festival, which will attractively promote the culinary heritage of the area, along with the natural heritage and thus will contribute to its preservation and promotion. The project results will contribute to diversification of the tourist activities on the territory of the Kirkovo-Zlatograd Local Initiative Group, to improving the quality of life of the local community and to preserving its identity.
