Overview
About GenussBotschafter Südtirol
The business idea revolves around becoming a self-employed enjoyment ambassador, focusing on guided tours that highlight the diverse and high-quality products of South Tyrol. Starting from January 1, 2026, the intention is to immerse participants in the rich culinary culture of the region by connecting them directly with local producers and the communities where these products originate. The target audience includes both tourists seeking an authentic South Tyrolean experience and locals wanting to deepen their understanding of regional culinary delights. However, while the concept has merit, its practicality hinges on the scalability of the tours and the need to distinguish them in a competitive tourism market, particularly in enhancing unique selling propositions for tourists who may easily opt for other attractions or experiences.
