GREETING FROM THE REGIONAL MINISTER OF TOURISM

It is becoming easier by the day to choose the Valencia Region as a holiday destination. The reason for this is simply the dedication and quality of service offered by the Valencian tourist industry, making this a destination that is suitable for everyone.

And when we say everyone, we are taking into account the diversity of today's society and its ability to cater for the special demands and requirements of all kinds of social groups.

The case of coeliacs is a clear example of this. Although it is difficult to calculate exactly how many people suffer from this disease, in Spain there are about 400,000 people and in Europe as a whole it is estimated that it affects three to four million people. Their specific demands include greater awareness of their requirements by the hotel and catering business, with a larger choice of gluten-free choices on menus.

The high-quality modern restaurants that characterise the Valencia Region are aware of this and strive to offer added value through their services. By creating guides like this, their intention is to meet the requirements of people with coeliac disease, thereby making the Valencia Region the most coeliac-friendly tourist destination.

From now on, sufferers of this disease will find a high-quality and trustworthy answer to their needs and expectations in the restaurants of the Valencia Region. At the establishments in the guide you will find the rightfully demanded assurance and peace of mind to enjoy your experience in a variety of tourist destinations throughout the Valencia Region, which give visitors everything they have to offer, regardless
