Catering establishments should have a quality standard to ensure that the hospitality sector retains a good name with tourists, Tourism Minister Clayton Bartolo said on Monday.
“There have been times when I myself went to a restaurant and was served cold food. I wish to make it clear that not all restaurants are like this, but you find a few establishments who are, and those give a bad name to the sector as a whole.”
Bartolo was speaking at a meeting with members of the Association of Catering Establishment (ACE).
He said that catering establishments play a fundamental role in the hospitality and tourism sectors and it was therefore important that they had the same quality standard.
