Cultural tourism allows travelers to be immersed in local rituals and routines, taking away not only pretty photos but also shared memories of unique experiences. Developing culturally geared tourism programs encourages destinations to celebrate and promote what distinguishes their communities, and in doing so, provides the opportunity for authentic cultural exchange between locals and visitors. Gastronomy is often referred to exclusively as the art of cooking and good eating; however, this is only one part of this discipline. Others have suggested that gastronomy is the study of the relationship between culture and food. It is normal that tourist should experience pleasure as an essential part of a holiday experience, and dining out or a culinary or wine tour, for example, should be a pleasurable and memorable part of that experience. So much, in fact, that gastronomy play a pivotal role in the marketing of some tourist destinations. In recent years, gastronomy has established itself as one of the key elements for the enhancement, sustainable and consolidation of tourist destinations. The aim of this paper is to show the relationship between culture, gastronomy and tourism with the example of the area of City of Šibenik.
