Budapest , whether it ’ s in Stuttgart , whether it ’ s in London or elsewhere , we ’ re seeing a trend whereby people want to taste the local cuisine .
“ It ’ s also about experience ,” he adds . “ Diners today are seeking out culinary experiences . When our travellers fly to Istanbul , they don ’ t want to sit down and have a slice of pizza . They want to have an authentic taste of where they are .
“ We know that the millennial generation is already now , the largest segment of the travel industry and that ’ s only going to be increasing in the coming years . This overarching food and beverage strategy which we have ensures that we are able to cater to this curious generation , to make sure that we not only stay relevant but that we also try and lead in this millennial space .”
