Richard Quest Samples Hotel Breakfast Buffets on CNN Business Traveller

A key ingredient to a successful business trip, or indeed any trip, is good food – this month ‘CNN Business Traveller’ asks how business travellers can eat well on the road, with a study of changes in the catering department which are driving the evolution of the travel industry.

Host Richard Quest begins with a look at his pet hate – the hotel breakfast buffet. On a global scale, the hotel giants Hilton, Hyatt and Choice Hotels are re-inventing this tired institution, in the belief that the quality of their breakfast is a huge driver of guest loyalty.

Richard speaks with the head of Food and Beverage from each chain, asking how they’re putting things right.

The programme also investigates whether, in tough economic times, the business lunch is still the best way to woo a client? Also on the menu…’CNN Business Traveller’ hears from celebrity chef Gordon Ramsey on how to make a hotel restaurant a ‘place to be seen’, CNN correspondent Ayesha Durgahee samples the ‘chef on call’ service at Malaysian Airlines and takes a peak at the vast wine cellars owned by the aviation industry.

That’s breakfast, lunch and dinner served, on this month’s ‘CNN Business Traveller’.
