Honduras: Food Service - Hotel Restaurant Institutional

  |   Attaché Report (GAIN)   |   HO2023-0006

This is an overview of the food service industry in Honduras, encompassing the hotel, restaurant, and institutional sectors. It also discusses current market trends and the most promising product opportunities. In general, Hondurans enjoy eating out, both as a matter of convenience (mostly for those who work outside the home) and as a family trip on the weekends. Honduran families are increasingly selecting local and foreign fast-food franchises when selecting a restaurant. Inbound tourism has nearly entirely recovered to pre-pandemic levels, with 840 thousand overnight visitors arriving in Honduras in 2022, representing a 16.6 percent rise over 2019. All these sectors continue to adapt to labor shortages, changes in consumer behavior, and high food prices.
