Wadden Gastronomy baseline study of visitors and residents

ETFI conducted research among visitors and residents of the Wadden Sea area. This was done for the Wadden Gastronomy project, in which various parties aim to establish a culinary tradition in the Dutch Wadden Sea area. The goal was to unravel their interest in local products, as well as their associations, familiarity, and experience with products from the area. These insights contribute to the further development of a flourishing culinary tradition in the Wadden Sea area.
