A gastronomia é considerada um estímulo para o desenvolvimento da economia local e tem sido progressivamente reconhecida como uma estratégia fundamental para a promoção do turismo. Os turistas contemporâneos procuram, cada vez mais, valores de autenticidade, sendo a gastronomia um marcador de identidade cultural. Neste contexto, o papel dos residentes revela-se essencial, pois, através do seu conhecimento, paixão e dedicação, asseguram que as tradições gastronómicas sejam preservadas e transmitidas de geração em geração. Esta dinâmica não só mantém a sucessão cultural, como também proporciona aos turistas oportunidades valiosas de explorar e compreender o património local através de experiências relacionadas com a gastronomia. O principal objetivo deste estudo é analisar as perceções dos residentes do Norte de Portugal relativamente ao reconhecimento da gastronomia como património cultural e ao seu papel como instrumento de desenvolvimento turístico. Para tal, foram distribuídos questionários estruturados a residentes em zonas urbanas de turismo popular no Porto. A Análise Generalizada Q, aplicada a 262 questionários válidos, com 20 respostas simples e 1024 combinações de afirmações, permitiu identificar 15 componentes robustos. A combinação entre tradição e inovação, mais do que o antagonismo entre estes conceitos, revela-se como uma condição importante para a sustentabilidade de uma gastronomia enraizada culturalmente.
