When you know where your food comes from, it tastes twice as good. More and more restaurateurs and hoteliers are including regional products on their menus. In order to further strengthen the collaboration between farmers and tourism professionals, Saalfelden Leogang Touristik GmbH launched the ‘Tourism and Agriculture’ lighthouse project as part of the brand development process in 2011. Now, on 16 June 2019, the regionality fair will take place for the sixth time under the title ‘Regional products in front of the curtain’ at Congress Saalfelden.
In Saalfelden Leogang, great importance is still attached to quality farm products. At the regionality fair, regional producers take the opportunity to present their products. Specialities such as bacon, bread, milk, eggs or schnapps straight from the farms - food couldn't be more natural. Unique regional craftsmanship and great presentations round off this day in the spirit of regionality perfectly!
A special highlight will be Ingo Vogl's cabaret take on the products and suppliers at the regionality fair with a special focus on health.

The kick-off event for the regionality fair ‘Radikal Regional - The Culinary DNA of Pinzgau’ will take place on Thursday, 13 June from 9.00 am to 1.00 pm at Congress Saalfelden. Which paths lead us successfully to more sales of regional food in the local catering trade and what sense does this make for us, but also for our earth and our climate? Inge Patsch (lecturer at the FH Kufstein) and Rudi Obauer (4 toques) will hold the keynote speeches. This will be followed by a panel discussion with people who have already gained experience in this field and are successfully marketing our delicious local products.
