IP and Gastronomic Tourism: Peru

Peruvian gastronomy reflects the country’s rich biodiversity, mix of cultures and use of native, ancient varieties as ingredients in modern cuisine.

Gastronomy in Peru is a vector of sustainable and inclusive development, which drives value chains involving approximately six million people.

The project aims to identify the meeting points between intellectual property (IP) and national culinary traditions, in order to promote and boost Peruvian culinary traditions and generate a positive impact on the gastronomic tourism sector in Peru.

International Workshop October 2022

The international workshop took place on October 18, 2022, at WIPO Headquarters, bringing together the four participating countries and experts, who shared their experience in the project deployment and discussed their conclusions and ideas for future action. As part of the project’s concluding activities, a side event took place on the margins of the CDIP 29th session, in which presented the project’s takeaways to Member States.

The four countries agreed on the importance of continuing work, building on the project’s results, to impact real people in the gastronomic and tourism sectors.
