Israel: HRI Food Service Sector 2017
The Israeli Hotel Restaurant Institutional (HRI) sector is stable. Sales in hotels and resorts are growing, in spite of the dip in tourism starting in 2015. The restaurant sector is evolving. The number of full service restaurants is stable, though they are facing financial strains due to high fixed costs.
