The Role of Local Food in Maldives Tourism - Scholarly Commons ...

Sometimes, only minor attention was given to food and dining by limiting the
information provided to only the name of the restaurant and the opening hours of the
restaurant. For example the only mention of food in a brochure reads: “24 hour in-villa
dining with a variety of international cuisine to choose from”.
Some of the websites linked to information on dining together with accommodation or
hotel facilities (Figure 5.8) while some did not have any information or link to food or
dining as the example in Figure 5.9.

Of the 18 websites that were analysed, 10 did not have a separate section focused on
food and dining. These websites had fewer images and less descriptive information
about food, restaurants and dining experiences. These websites often only listed the
name of the restaurant or bar and opening hours with very little information provided
about food (see Figure 5.9). A typical example of such information is: “The Dhonveli
Restaurant is the main dining room and serves ‘all you can eat’ buffet styles meals for
breakfast, lunch and dinner.”
