From vineyard to wine tourism destination: the example of the island of Santorini.

The island of Santorin shows a wine tourism example which dynamics is based on the one hand on a tourism development around not only wine but also other agricultural food products and on the other hand on a deliberate convergence with other forms of tourism such as seaside tourism notably. Through an approach based both on field - wine field and food processing field - and on destination, this example shows the willingness to develop more widely than wine a culture of eating engraved in the heart of local identity and hospitality that concerns permanent residents and temporary ones as well. This is because generally speaking feeding/eating questions what living in a place means including as a tourist and more particularly the Mediterranean diet is visible and legible worldwide thanks to its inscription on the Representative List of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity by UNESCO.
