Teia d’Ideias: Gastronomy, Identity and Promotion of the Territory

As part of the official Program of the Commemorations of the Day of the City of Portimão, the Teia D’Impulsos Association promotes on December 12 at 6:30 pm, at Casa Manuel Teixeira Gomes a Teia D’Ideias under the theme “Gastronomy, Identity and Promotion of the Territory”

This Teia D’Ideias will begin with the delivery of awards to the establishments that stood out in the 100 Years 100 Flavors event, a ceremony presided over by Álvaro Bila, mayor of Portimão, followed by the debate moderated by Pedro Moreira, director of the Portimão Hotel School, and with moderators André Gomes (president of the Algarve Tourism Region), Sara Silva (president of the Algarve Wine Commission), Artur Gregório (coordinator of the REVITALGARVE, RNAES and Prato Certo PNAES-Algarve projects) and Nuno Martins (owner and Chef at the NUMA restaurant).

With the numerous questions that arise for the territories and their identity and that of their people, gastronomy increasingly assumes a central role, catalyzing locals and attracting foreigners to increasingly deeper, participatory and interactive experiences.

The 2024 Tourism awards, promoted by Expresso and BPI, in partnership with Turismo de Portugal, are a clear example of the demand that is being promoted in all areas of tourism and gastronomy is at the center of almost all finalist projects in the 5 distinguished categories.

Teia D’Impulsos, through the 100 Years 100 Flavors project and now this Teia D’Ideias, wants to assume itself as a unifying element and promoter of dialogue, partnerships and sustainable development, namely in the pillar of the Algarve’s gastronomy, the importance it assumes in the identity of the region and the differentiation it assumes as a promoter of the territory.

Teia D’Ideia works under the model of debate with a moderator, in which the speakers expose and debate their perspectives on the importance of Gastronomy in the identity and promotion of the Algarve, with the final part reserved for questions posed by the audience. 

It is intended that from the debate ideas and guidelines emerge to enhance Gastronomy as an element of identity and promotion of the territory, more specifically from the Algarve.

The debate will be broadcast live on social networks and will be available on Teia D’Impulsos’ Youtube channel.
