International restaurants and cafes

According to the document of the “Joint of Life” program, the hospitality sector represented by restaurants and cafes is among the basic components of the lifestyle and quality of life that the program targets. One of the indicators referred to in the document is the target number of restaurants and cafes and its comparison with the global average. Statistics indicate that the number of restaurants in Japan, for example, is 16,000 per one million people, and in Switzerland, the number is 6,000 per one million people, which indicates a low rate of restaurants in the Kingdom compared to other countries. According to the document, the aspirations of the Quality of Life Program are to reach 3 thousand restaurants per million inhabitants in 2030, which means doubling the number of restaurants in the Kingdom from the current rate.
