About the city of San Antonio

San Antonio is one of only two cities in the USA certified as a Creative City of Gastronomy, receiving this designation in late 2017. The city serves as a geographical and cultural crossroad, with indigenous people foraging and hunting along the River for 13,000 years. Spanish colonists introduced new traditions and flavors in the 1700s, while European, Asian, and African influences further enriched the culinary landscape in the 1800s. Culinary arts are among the city’s fastest-growing industries, with a 12% annual increase and an economic impact of $4.3 billion. Rooted in diverse traditions, San Antonio promotes its culinary heritage to foster equity and sustainability while enhancing its cultural experience. The hospitality sector is worth $15 billion, attracting 37 million tourists annually. With over 40 culinary, hospitality, tourism, and food science schools, San Antonio cultivates a unique gastronomical culture that embraces both tradition and innovation.
