  • Food or beverage production cooperative

  • Winery or agricultural regions (such as AVA areas in the USA or similar regions worldwide)

  • Small, defined areas (like a small island)

  • NGOs (organizations, associations or non-profit businesses) that represent restaurants, hospitality, tourism and economic development)

Not sure if your area or business falls into one of the above categories? Open up a support ticket and explain your situation. We will let you know. If you represent a national tourist organization, please share the opportunity with your local and regional tourism areas. Most nations are too large an area to be designated as a Culinary Capital. And cuisines can vary enormously across larger countries. Think about your international gateway cities and smaller areas that are easier for visitors to grasp. If you represent a real estate developer or other local business, please contact your area tourism office to encourage and support their application.
