Bombinhas advances in the consolidation of its tourist positioning by investing in initiatives that connect culture, gastronomy and economic development. The Mullet Route is highlighted in the calendar and contributes to expanding the circulation of visitors throughout the year.
Gastronomic circuit values culture and boosts typical cuisine
The City Hall has opened registration for the 2nd edition of the initiative. In addition, the Department of Tourism and Economic Development promotes the action in partnership with Sebrae/SC.
The initiative values artisanal fishing, recognized as intangible cultural heritage of Santa Catarina. At the same time, it encourages typical cuisine by encouraging the creation of exclusive dishes with local ingredients.
The organization will hold the event between May 27 and August 2. During this period, mullet fishing gains strength. Thus, participating establishments start to offer new gastronomic experiences and, consequently, strengthen the connection between visitors and regional culture.
From tradition to organization: how mullet fishing shaped the city
Before becoming a tourist attraction, mullet fishing was already part of the economic and cultural base of the city. For decades, the activity was conducted mainly by local fishermen, with smaller boats and artisanal methods, which helped preserve traditional practices and the direct link with the sea.
This model was consolidated, in part, by rules that limited the operation of larger vessels in the region. As a result, artisanal fishing has maintained space, ensuring not only sustenance for several families, but also the continuity of knowledge passed down between generations.
It is in this context that the concept of production chain emerges. In the case of mullet, it is not limited to catching the fish. It involves a sequence of steps and agents: from those who fish, through distribution, to restaurants and final consumption. Over time, this structure began to directly influence the local economic dynamics.
With the advancement of tourism, the destination began to incorporate this traditional base in a more strategic way. Initiatives such as the Mullet Route do not create this chain, but expand its visibility and organize its presence within the tourist calendar.
By bringing fishing to the center of the experience, the event connects history, economic activity and tourist proposal. What was once just part of everyday life is now also perceived as a competitive differential.
Thus, the relationship between tradition and development takes on a new format. Artisanal fishing continues to be essential, but now integrated into a broader context, which involves planning, promoting and valuing local identity.
Gastronomic experiences extend stay and diversify tourism
Gastronomic tourism on the coast grows along with a change in the visitor’s profile. Previously focused on fast travel, now tourists are looking for more complete experiences. In other words, they are looking for experiences that involve flavors, traditions and local identity.
Therefore, this movement extends the length of stay and stimulates consumption in different sectors. In addition, it helps to keep tourist activity active outside of the high season.
This movement also connects to the platform Get to know Bombinhas. In this way, the tool brings together tours, activities and services in a single environment, facilitates planning and expands the possibilities of those who visit the region.
A movement that strengthens tourism throughout the year
The program highlights the importance of the artisanal fishing production chain and, at the same time, connects tradition, gastronomy and local development.
With the continuity of these actions, the results appear gradually. Thus, tourism is strengthened, while the economy gains dynamism. As a result, the coast of Santa Catarina expands its presence among the most sought after destinations.
More than a one-off event, the initiative consolidates Bombinhas as a destination with experiences throughout the year.
Conclusion
With registration open until April 10, the new edition reinforces the role of gastronomy as a central element in the construction of the local tourist identity. Interested restaurants can register through an online form, ensuring participation in a circuit that values traditions, encourages creativity and expands the visibility of the region.
