ABSTRACT

Peru suffered from civil war and economic crisis until the early 1990s, and social conflicts were severe. The small change that started with the appearance of a star chef named Acurio Gaston in 1994 has expanded to a national strategy called the Brand Peru. Peruvian food had the characteristic of indigenous tradition and the diversity of immigrants culture. There were abundant ingredients produced in the Andes, coasts, and the Amazon. As a result of the active food tourism promotion strategy abroad, the number of foreigners visiting Peru to experience Peruvian food has increased, and the food-based tourism industry has also developed. This established the national identity of Peru as a gastronomic country, and changed from being a society of white people to a society where everyone in the Peruvian community was respected. Local community as a grassroots organization accumulated social capital and organically cooperated with the local and central governments to achieve the recovery of the Peruvian community. Peru as a gastronomic country, shows that an inclusive growth that respects human beings should be the goal of economic development.
