What is the readiness index and report that Culinary Capitals get?
After we complete our review of your application, we present you with an analytical report of approximately 20-30 pages detailing our assessment of your destination. We evaluate 5 total pillars and provide scores for each. The index score is your destination's overall average for the scores in each of the 5 sections.
Destinations can get a new report every year (you will need to update your application to be eligible for the updated assessment). A new report each year means that destinations can compare your performance over time, as well as compare your performance with that of similar destinations (aggregate data only).
