Every city, town, or local community has its land, its water, its air, its landscapes, and its buildings. For many generations, community residents have used these resources for their survival. Tourism has been an activity that has made use of these resources, in order to make them attractive and offer them in the tourist markets. The city of Puebla is located in the regional and national context for the variety of its cuisine, as this is a fusion inspired by ingredients from Mesoamerica, Europeans brought in by the Spanish conquest which in turn are inspired by the Arabian cuisine, also Asian culinary elements were integrated, which led to an extraordinary and varied regional cuisine from the eighteenth century. Currently, gastronomic tourism is presented as an important motivator of the tourist trip, so the poblana cuisine represents a competitive tool for this segment of the tourism market.
