The relevance of research topic, which the article is devoted to, is that for the well-known Black Sea resort areas of Russia, the formation of gastronomic tours ensures the dynamic development of system-forming complexes of the service sector, which can be considered as a progressive factor contributing to the economic development of popular southern resort regions.

The gastronomic flavor acts as a link between the peculiarities of national culture and the authenticity of national kitchen customs.
