At Least 15 Chinese Luxury Hotels Including Beiyuan Grand Sell Gourmet Dishes at Street Stalls Amid Spending Decline

Luxury hotels in China are adapting to a decline in consumer spending on travel, conferences, and banquets by selling gourmet food through street stalls. At least 15 high-end hotels, including the Beiyuan Grand Hotel in Beijing, have set up outdoor food stalls in recent weeks to compensate for falling indoor revenues. This shift comes as Chinese consumers and corporate clients tighten their budgets, leading to reduced demand for traditional hotel services. The strategy of hawking freshly cooked dishes aims to boost revenue amidst the current economic challenges faced by the hospitality sector.
