50 wine tourism professionals and companies take part in training days
The DO Empordà Wine Route Club, composed of 80 companies and bodies from the Girona area, is implementing a specific training programme for the tourism management of the destination from a wine tourism perspective.
The "DO Empordà Wine Route" training days, held on 13th, 14th and 15th May focused on three main areas: raising awareness of the wine route, managing wine tourism in tourist establishments, and managing wine tourism in wine cellars. The days were attended by 50 professionals from companies and organisations in the Empordà area that are involved in the DO Empordà Wine Route Club.
Dinamiza Asesores, a company specialised in the development of wine tourism in Spain (previous projects include Ribera del Duero, Vinos de Madrid and Wine Routes of Spain), was hired to lead the training sessions, in which it explained the audits that the members of the DO Empordà Wine route must undergo over the course of the certification process.
