Abstract
This paper demonstrates the potential of Podravina's gastronomic offer for the development of rural tourism and gastro tourism. Gastronomic offer of Podravina is very diverse, well preserved, and it reflects the culture of working and living int he past. Conducting interviews with experts working and studying in this field of research, affirmative opinions were yelded considering the recognizability of traditional dishes from Podravina and with the emphasis on buckwheat and barley porridge, nettle dishes and Bregofska pita. When it comes to strengthening the gastronomic offer, tourist boards, associations, and conscious consumers of Podravina dishes have te highest role. Gastronomic offer can be improved by merging rural homesteads that offer traditional Podravina dishes at an affordable price, trough targeted gastronomic events which popularize the local dihes, and by using ingredients grown on their own farms.
