Eating and Drinking Establishments.

Food and beverage is an important part of every traveller’s experience. Many tourists prefer dining out when they are away from home, while others may decide to eat fast foods. The food and beverage industry offers travellers the opportunity to experience the local cuisine and socialise with the locals at the same time. The following is a list of different eating and drinking establishments.

Restaurants

These establishments provide tourists the chance to get to know the local cuisine and meet new people. There are various eatery categories from fast food chains like Burger King and KFC, to luxury and international restaurants that cater to higher budgets.

Catering

This category is a group of food services that offer catering in more remote locations. Within the catering sector, various food and beverage offerings can be found at hotels, planes, cruise ships, and even trains. Catering is also offered in many tourist attraction sites.

Bars & Cafés

These are an important part of the country’s local economy, offering visitors a more relaxed and laid-back atmosphere. Bars and cafés offer alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks, hot

beverages, and a chance to socialise with the locals or other tourists. Most of these drinking establishments are smaller than restaurants and some even serve food.

Nightclubs

Discos or clubs are one of the most essential parts of the food and beverage industry, especially for the younger travellers. Nightclubs provide tourists with music and dance entertainment during the night and they can be the main reason for a traveller’s visit to a particular destination.
