- Food tourism sustainability in Portugal: a systematic literature reviewPublication . Mendes, Teresa; Liberato, Pedro; Liberato, Dália; Dieguez, Teresa; Barreira, HugoFood is one of the main tourism motivations to visit a destination. Food-related activities and experiences, and food consumption places, have, therefore, been used as unique selling propositions by tourism management destinations employing multiple marketing strategies, which are nowadays strengthened by digital branding. On the other hand, global food supply, and its supply chains sustainability, also became one of the most urgent agendas for all nations, worldwide. Concurringly, United Nations launched in 2016 the Sustainable Development Goals program that the United Nations World Travel Organization officially adopted in 2017. Although international tourism demand has been consistently increasing toward Portugal throughout this decade, being the most searched for European country in 2022, one of the main conclusions of the present research is that both national and international academy has not yet produced significant studies on this country’s food sustainability, concerning the tourism market. This paper delivers a systematic literature review on food tourism sustainability concerning tourism destination Portugal, based on a specific articles’ selection protocol. The selected articles, analyzed through a visual bibliometric networks’ software, produced three main clusters, which presented a research trend, stressing critical aspects concerning the role of regional governance in food tourism, and the still scarce academic production to this matter.
