Excellent article by scott wright. Some supplementary thoughts below We also need a Scottish Government ( of any persuasion) - who doesn’t just say they are pro hospitality, they actually do something tangible to demonstrate this. To the best of my knowledge, *direct & indirect taxes are significant lower in most of mainland Europe. * those that have LEZ ( not many) worked in tandem with the affected local businesses BEFORE it became policy * Licensing/permit laws aren’t pro venue. As an example, it’s absolutely ludicrous that a music city like Glasgow has a general 11pm curfew ( earlier in places for outside gigs) in live music venues. I went to see Springsteen in Milan recently. He came on at 9pm finished at midnight. On same tour , he came on in Edinburgh before 7pm. * on above note, it would of course be crazy to extend licensing laws to later when there is no actual way to get home on public transport post 11pm ( earlier on a Sunday) * Lastly. It’s not SGs fault we are not in EU. However, the ripples from this happening are still rolling through hospitality ( esp cost of goods and availability of good chefs, GMs etc). SG either don’t realise this, or do realise it but don’t care enough to intervene positively. ( but did intervene to try and put DRS into Scotland). #context #scotland #hospitality

🌟 How hotels and restaurants can become key players in gastronomy tourism! 🍽️🌍 A unique experience, new flavours, and an inimitable atmosphere – that’s what tourists are looking for when travelling around the world. Hotels and restaurants play a crucial role in attracting and retaining them. A hotel isn’t just a place to stay; it’s a part of a trip that can make it truly unforgettable. A hotel that offers a unique culinary experience can become a real magnet for gastro-tourists. From breakfasts with local specialties to dinners with chef’s signature dishes – there are numerous opportunities to attract gastro-tourists. A restaurant isn’t just a place to eat, but also an atmosphere that creates a real journey into the world of tastes and aromas. A restaurant offering authentic dishes and various tastings becomes an integral part of the gastronomic journey. And, of course, hospitality and service at the highest level are the things that create a favourable impression on guests and make them come back again and again. How to make your establishment attractive for food tourism? Invest in developing your employees’ culinary skills, offer unique culinary master classes and wine tours, and create an atmosphere that will remind guests of a real cultural and culinary journey. And remember that every detail matters, from interior design to food presentation. Make your establishment not just a place where you can eat, but a real centre of gastronomy tourism that’ll delight and inspire guests every day! 🌟🍷🍴 #lavoria #jobs #horecajobs #career #candidate #staff #lookingforjob #jobopportunities #hospitalityindustry #careergrowth #lavoriajobs #lavoriavacancies #hospitalityjobs #cyprusjobs #greecejobs #gastronomytourism

How to highlight hotel gastronomy and differentiate yourself in the hotel sector? Strategies to provide authentic culinary experiences and attract customers looking for unforgettable flavors Gastronomy is closely linked to tourism. People travel not only to enjoy the landscapes, but also to establish a cultural connection with the place. One of the ways to understand more about where you are visiting is by tasting the region's cuisine. Those who work in the hotel sector gain a lot from offering gastronomic experiences as a hospitality strategy. Many tourists end up going to the hotel where they stay to eat, and this is a good opportunity to maximize this experience. The attraction of quality cuisine can attract not only hotel guests, but also tourists who are in the region or even local people who value a good meal

Why do we feature our culinary scene so prominently in our marketing and communications plans? Three big reasons. Because every visitor eats whether they’re here for leisure, sport, healthcare or business Because visitors leave a sizeable culinary economic impact in a community. If every one of the approximate 618 000 visitors annually to Thunder Bay stays just a little longer to have another lunch, that’s over $18 500 000 more to our local economy each year. We have an eclectic, tenatious and creative local culinary scene in Thunder Bay that is the envy of many small cities across Canada. We’ve seen this evolve since about 2010 in a big way although some early innovators like Caribou and the former Bistro One derserve a lot of credit for starting this new movement. But our local culinary identity even includes the Persian (a local sweet berry iced cinnamon roll) and other local historical icons like Mckeller Confectionary for sliders. They tell our stories. Mix a growing international population, growth of indigenous culinary entrepreneurs and a new crop of young market farmers and entrepreneurs and you get a healthy ecosystem to support culinary diversity and inclusion in our community.
