English | 2026 | ISBN: 1836690754 | 454 pages | PDF | Over the past two decades, tourism centered on taste as a cultural resource has gained prominence, attracting growing interest from public authorities and industry stakeholders at various levels. Tourism and Gastronomy examines the dynamics at play – interregional projects, national certifications and local initiatives – based on the creation of a shared “common” taste, which is then expressed through local culinary identities. The Savoie region offers a prime example of this phenomenon: Michelin-starred chefs, through their fame, their regional roots and their promotion of a “mountain flavor”, have become unifying figures who contribute to the region’s appeal. While gastronomy is rarely the primary reason for travel, it contributes to the promotion and recognition of a place’s cultural heritage, and more broadly to local development. This process, which depends on coordination and the strategies of the various stakeholders, can lead to the creation of true gourmet tourist destinations, as evidenced by several examples in France and around the world.

Mean duration of symptoms was 9.5 years (range 1 - 40 years). The treatment was adapted to the individual case according to clinical response. Long term antibiotic therapy was initiated and patients were treated continuously for at least 6 months, in some cases several years of intermittent therapy was administered. About 38.8% of the patients experienced full remission of symptoms while about 56.7% reported a significant improvement, 5.6% of patients were deemed refractory to therapy. Therapeutic modalities are discussed in detail.
