Abstract

Regional agri-food products, beyond their vital food function, always played a leading role in the way and how people relate to each other in and between different territories. This article presents the results of an exploratory and descriptive research carried out on 199 web pages of different types of organizations in the neighbouring regions of Extremadura (Spain) and Centro (Portugal), with the aim of exploring and learning about touristic activities related to agri-food products, developed by different types of organizations. At the same time, an attempt is also made to understand what the influence of products with food quality certifications and seals (PDO, PGI and TSG) in carrying out these types of activities. In these two regions, a total of 311 activities related to 73 different agri-food products are carried out. Of the total activities developed, 167 are related to quality products. The vast majority are fairs or festivals and are organized by the Ayuntamientos (Extremadura) and Câmaras Municipais or Juntas de Freguesia (Região Centro).
