Spain: Food Service - Hotel Restaurant Institutional
Spain continues to break tourist records with the number of tourists visiting the country. From January through August, 57.3 million tourists arrived in Spain, 10 percent higher than previous year. Also, the Spanish economy is expected to grow at a moderate pace, continuing the post-crisis expansion, which is taking Spanish consumers back to bars and restaurants. These facts boost demand for meals in the HRI sector and thus, the Hotel, Restaurant and Institutional (HRI) sector in Spain offers excellent opportunities for U.S. food-ingredient and food-product exporters.
