Metro Manila (CNN Philippines, April 6) — Food enthusiasts and connoisseurs alike can feast on local and international delicacies at the 3rd Madrid Fusión Manila on April 6 to 8 at the SMX Convention Center.
Hosted by the Department of Tourism, the event aims to create awareness and demand for various agricultural and food products, as well as catalyze trade and business partnerships in tourism and gastronomy.
This year’s theme, “Towards a Sustainable Gastronomic Planet,” will explore how to transform gastronomy while respecting environmental limits and enhancing cultural traditions.
“As the world’s second largest archipelago with more than 7,107 tropical islands and thousands of rare and endemic species, the Philippines is an excellent venue for presentation and discussion of sustainable gastronomy,” Tourism Secretary Wanda Corazon Tulfo-Teo said.
The event has three parts: the International Gastronomy Congress, the Fusión Manila International Gastronomy Expo and the month-long Flavors of the Philippines — which puts Filipino agricultural and food products in the spotlight.
Critically acclaimed chefs Jordi Roca and Alejandra Rivas of El Celler de Can Roca, Régis Marcon of Régis and Jacques Marcon and Simon Rogan of L’Enclune, among many others, will discuss the future of food at the International Gastronomy Congress.
Celebrated annually in Madrid since 2003, Madrid Fusión is considered one of the leading gastronomy gatherings in the world.
