Thousands of unique ideas to serve tourists during the epidemic season

Accompanying the teddy bear

Teddy bears are also playing a role in the fight against Covid-19, ensuring social distancing. At the Dream World amusement park in Pathum Thani, Thailand, oversized teddy bears have been placed on roller coasters to keep visitors company.

Some restaurants and cafes in France and Thailand also arrange stuffed pandas to "keep customers company". Anyway, stuffed bears are cute and make the dining tables more pleasing to the eye, compared to the use of mannequins in some restaurants in Japan, Germany and the US before.

Social distancing hat

Last year, to celebrate its reopening, Cafe & Konditorei Rothe in Schwerin, Germany, offered diners special decorative hats made of foam, which were used to ensure social distancing.

Also in Germany, for the same purpose, Burger King's giant paper crowns went viral. The paper crowns became a trend, then appeared in Singapore and Burger King posted instructions online so people could make their own.

Yoga bubble

This innovative idea was introduced in June 2020, on the grounds of the Hotel X Toronto complex in Canada. An outdoor activity unit combined with local fitness and yoga centers to organize classes in the context of Covid-19. 50 bubbles were set up, each student participating in the exercise in a private and safe space.

Greenhouse cuisine

The Covid-19 pandemic has forced restaurants around the world to find solutions to attract customers while ensuring safety and social distancing. The idea of ​​​​Mediamatic Eten company in Amsterdam (Netherlands) is to create small, beautiful greenhouses, with a capacity of 2-4 diners.

Waiters would not need to enter the greenhouse and would have little contact with customers. They would stand outside and deliver food and drinks on long boards. The greenhouse model later became popular in restaurants across Europe and America.

Art through car windows

The drive-in trend isn't just for movies; it's been extended to music events in Canada, the US and Europe. Opera lovers have been staying in their cars to watch live performances, with music played over their car radios. In Germany, nightclubs like Club Index in Lower Saxony or World Club Dome in Düsseldorf have drivers pull up to the stage, where DJs play music while people stay in their cars.

Car design art exhibitions have also taken place in Brazil, the Netherlands, North America and Singapore, as visitors drove around to admire the large-scale works.

Mobile bar

Many hotel bars remain closed to limit crowds, so some have made changes to their offerings. The Ocean House in Rhode Island, USA, has introduced a bright red bar that is pushed from room to room during cocktail hour, along with a selection of drinks and snacks.

The Royal Champagne Hotel & Spa in Champillon, France, added a "Champagne, Please!" button to the room telephone, so guests can order wine at any time. Le Bristol Paris has implemented a "Ring and Drink" service, with the hotel's mixologists mixing cocktails in-room from a mobile bar. The Fullerton Hotel in Singapore has gone even further: they offer in-room cocktail-making classes.

A single table

“Bord för En,” which means “table for one” in Swedish, puts you in the middle of a field, with a table and a chair, no waiters, and no other guests. The three-course meal was served to single guests by chef Rasmus Persson and his wife over the spring and summer of last year. The table and chairs were set up in the middle of a field in Värmland, Sweden, and the meal was delivered in a rope basket.

Likewise, the Waldorf Astoria Los Cabos Pedregal in Mexico has opened a private dining venue perched on rocks overlooking the Pacific Ocean. The table is set on the patio, on the cliff below the restaurant. This special table can accommodate up to six people, and each diner must pay at least $1,500 to reserve a spot.
