Mang Inasal was among the food exhibitors in the first United Nations Tourism Regional Forum on Gastronomy Tourism for Asia and the Pacific, hosted by the Philippine Department of Tourism. This was held in Shangri-La Mactan Resort last June 26, 2024.
Organized by the UN World Tourism Organization (UNWTO), the Basque Culinary Center, and the DOT, the Gastronomy Tourism Forum, had some 400 participant that includes ministers from UN member-states, affiliate members, and tourism stakeholders from international organizations.
"We strongly see food as a crucial element in enhancing the Philippine cultural experience," said Christina Garcia Frasco, Tourism Secretary.
UNWTO added that, "The First UN Tourism Regional Forum on Gastronomy Tourism for Asia and the Pacific aimed to serve as a platform to celebrate the power of gastronomy tourism and harness its transformative power for the benefit of local communities and the environment."
During the forum, delegates were treated to a lunch themed "Tripping the Philippines" that featured different delicacies from the various regions of the country and Mang Inasal was the only restaurant brand that was featured in the exhibit.
"We are grateful to DOT for giving Mang Inasal the opportunity to be part of this milestone event," said Mike Castro, President at Mang Inasal. "And we made sure that our international guests would remember what Ihaw-Sarap (deliciously grilled) means to us by giving them our Solo Fiesta which is a pack filled with the best of Philippine flavors including Chicken Inasal, Pork BBQ, Lumpiang Togue, Palabok, and Java Rice."
