El pan de agua como gastronomía representativa en la ciudad Babahoyo para producción de contenido audiovisual bilingüe

Abstract

Pan de Agua is a culinary icon in Babahoyo, Ecuador, that symbolizes not only a staple food but also cultural identity. Despite its importance, the lack of formal research and bilingual promotion strategies has limited its historical recognition and tourist appeal. This project aims to explore the historical process of pan de Agua, document its sociocultural relevance, and produce bilingual audiovisual content for its promotion. Through a qualitative approach, including interviews and observations, the study seeks to understand the importance of pan de Agua in local culture and gastronomy. The goal is to preserve this tradition by producing audiovisual materials and promotional strategies that position pan de Agua as a cultural and gastronomic attraction at a national and international level. With this project, we hope to contribute to the preservation of cultural heritage and increase the recognition and tourist appeal of pan de Agua. In this way, pan de Agua will be promoted as a cultural and gastronomic icon, highlighting its importance in the identity and tradition of Babahoyo.
