Have you written your business plan? Have you tried to get planning permission, insurance and finance to build your business? Have you done you market research and built your website? Have you done all the required registration and certifications to open your business? Then are you prepared to make every customer delighted to have chosen your offering? I've been trying to get into tourism for 5 years, and I'm still at the start of this list.
That must be why my wife and I paid €20.00 for 2 toasted sandwiches and a pot of tea yesterday. and they were very ordinary sandwiches. I don't doubt what you say, and I try my best to support home holidays, etc. It's this type of overcharging that gets on peoples nerves
When I have my first café breakfast of 2021 in the south of Spain in a few weeks time, I'll pay €1.50 (includes 2 mugs of coffee*, glass of water, glass or orange juice, two tapas - one savoury, one sweet).
If only we could find wait staff to work for €6 or €7 an hour here...
Still only two of myriad factors that make comparisons utterly meaningless.
