Visit Wadden
If we want to put Wadden gastronomy on the map, in addition to education and development, marketing sustainable local products is equally important. Only when visitors and residents know what is on offer can they consider coming to taste and experience it.
We go so far as to make Wadden gastronomy a 'reason to travel.' Entrepreneurs and residents in the Wadden Sea area (especially those along the Wadden coast) can benefit greatly from this. Visit Wadden is working on promoting the awareness of Wadden gastronomy through the website, social media channels, brochures, and digital newsletters, among other things.
Furthermore, we organize the Culinary Wadden Weeks every year in the months of October and November. The numerous places in the Wadden Sea area that work with local products are showcased through marketing & PR efforts.
