Spain: Food Service - Hotel Restaurant Institutional
Spain is one of the top tourism destinations in the world, with increasing numbers of tourists every year, boosting demand for meals in the HRI sector. The number of tourists in Spain increased by 16 percent in the first half of 2016. Also, Spain is expected to continue to grow at a moderate pace, continuing the post-crisis expansion, which is taking Spanish consumers back to bars and restaurants. Therefore, the Hotel, Restaurant and Institutional (HRI) sector in Spain offers excellent opportunities for U.S. foodingredient and food-product exporters. Entry into the Spanish market generally requires that potential U.S. exporters negotiate specific arrangements with established importers.
