Certain types of businesses may not be covered under the 'Food & Drink' category and are therefore not eligible to join.

Here’s a look at what might not be included:

Typically, fast food chains are not eligible unless they’re in very remote regions where dining options are scarce. The focus here is on unique, local dining experiences that contribute to the leisure tourism appeal.

Basic takeaway spots that don’t offer a distinctive experience or aren’t situated in areas with limited dining choices might not be listed. ATDW prioritizes businesses that enhance the overall visitor experience with something special.

Supermarkets and grocery stores that don’t offer a unique tourism-oriented experience, such as showcasing local produce or providing food-related tours, wouldn’t typically fall under this category.

Bars or pubs that aren’t located in areas known for tourism or don’t complement other leisure activities may not be included. Location and the connection to the overall visitor experience are key.

Big food production facilities that don’t engage with visitors through tours or tastings aren’t likely to be listed. The emphasis is on businesses that provide a memorable, tourism-focused experience.

Breweries, distilleries, or wineries that don’t offer a public tasting room or cellar door experience wouldn’t fit into this category. The platform is all about promoting places where visitors can immerse themselves in local flavors and experiences.

This approach ensures that the Food & Drink businesses included in the platform truly enhance the tourism experience, offering visitors something unique and engaging that reflects the local culture and flavours.
