In January 2024, the BASCIL project—supported by the Interreg Baltic Sea Region 2021–2027 programme—published a practical manual to assist local food producers and small businesses in developing culinary tourism services. Produced in collaboration with culinary tourism experts Hubert Gonera and Niclas Fjellström, the guide is designed to help farmers and food producers expand their operations by integrating premium food experiences into tourism offerings. It provides step-by-step guidance using the Business Model Canvas and highlights successful examples from across the Baltic Sea Region to promote resilience and sustainability in rural food production.
