| Abstract: | The start of economic restructuring, including the changes in ownership structure and the introduction of the free market, has initially weakened all consumer markets in eastern Europe. Consumer catering has been one of the worst-hit areas of economy. The overall reduction in consumer spending has been followed by changes in consumer spending priorities. Consumer catering in the Czech and Slovak Republics and Hungary has grown faster than the economy as a whole due to succes in the tourist trade. The catering business has been extremely profitable due to cheap labour and the relatively high prices charged. |
