Gastronomic culture itself can be a tourism resource. Therefore, if the Indonesian government wants to increase the number of tourists to Indonesia.

The results of this study indicate that launched a number of traditional culinary icon by the Indonesian government, appears to have helped the understanding of the culture of Indonesian cuisine. However, these icons can not be said to represent their ethnicity and culture in Indonesia, so it is necessary to have reinvented and re-engineered. In addition, the development of traditional culinary culture in Indonesia can not rule out the science of gastronomy. Thus, the development of Indonesian traditional culinary culture is not just about taste, easily obtained or recognized by the public, but also selecting, preparing, serving, discover, experience, examine, understand, write and enjoy good food.
