The award will not only boost the local economy, but also raise awareness of the importance of local food. Such initiatives encourage consumers who value quality and origin to buy and consume local products. In the long term, this could lead to a stronger identification with the region and increase the attractiveness of Neumarkt as a destination for gourmets.

Overall, the “GenussOrt Bayern” award shows that Neumarkt is on the right track to present and promote its culinary treasures. The city has the potential to become a center for enjoyment and high-quality food, and this honor is a first but important step in this direction.
