How the lack of international travel has affected the regional F&B scene

Caterer and Hotelier Middle East editor Simon Ritchie will introduce and speak with top hoteliers about how the lack of international travel has impacted their F&B over the past year. And with vaccines helping to win the fight against Covid-19, what will be the impact as we return to a sense of normality?

Among the topics of discussion will be whether an increase in staycations has made up for the smaller amount of international travellers, are customers spending more money on experiential dining locally because they can’t go abroad, and will a summer exodus from Dubai lead to difficult times for hotels or will inbound travel return enough to make up for it?
