tourism are essential to enhance economic growth, job creation, and cultural identity. Elena Schiavone (2010) identified challenges such as foreign competition and institutional weaknesses, recommending improved legal frameworks, international market access, and local product valorization. Argentina’s regulatory framework supports gastronomy’s growth, but ongoing policy development is needed to maximize its impact on tourism and international trade. CONCLUSIONS Argentina’s gastronomic legislation, anchored by the CAA and laws like 25,380, 25,127, and 27,642, ensures food safety, quality, and cultural identity, enhancing agro-food product competitiveness. GIs and DOs, though limited, preserve culinary traditions and boost gastronomic tourism, as seen in cases like Chivito Criollo, Tandil Salami, and Yerba Mate. Challenges include institutional weaknesses and foreign competition, necessitating stronger public policies to integrate gastronomy and tourism. Programs like GustAR and the Business School for SMEs drive regional development, but further efforts in market access, education, and certification awareness are crucial. With an evolving legal framework, Argentina can solidify its position as a global enogastronomic tourism leader. REFERENCES Ley 27.642. (2021, 12 de noviembre).
