The Culture and Gastronomy Workshop is a project that combines a fam trip and a workshop. It is attended by 60 European tour operators specialised in Cultural tourism and Gastronomy holidays.

The participating tour operators are all carefully selected and invited by Turisme de Catalunya through its tourism promotion centres (CPTs) in France, the United Kingdom and Ireland, Germany, Italy, the Nordic Countries, Benelux, Madrid and Eastern Europe. The aim is to maximise the professional interest of the workshop and obtain the highest possible yield from it.
