Food obviously plays a major role in tourism and therefore services related to food are very crucial. The required and preferred food items in destinations’ vastly depend on the cultural and geographic background of the guests(MacDonald, 1997). Foodservice operations are not simply in the business of providing food and beverages; they are in the business of creating guest enjoyment. Achieving this goal requires attention to detail and preparation that begins well in advance of welcoming the first guest. The guest experience is determined by a variety of interrelated factors from menu design and place settings to plate presentation and style of service. Each of these factors plays a significant role in achieving guest satisfaction and must be made within the physical and human constraints of the operation (Cook et. al., 2007). Food and beverage are vital components of the tourism experience, and are increasingly being seen as prime travel motivators in their own right.Safety and security are vital to providing quality in tourism finally affect in tourists destination selection. More than any other economic activity, the success or failure of a tourism destination depends on being able to provide a safe and secure environment for visitors. This was highly evident in the aftermath of the tragic events of 11th September2001(Besculides et. al, 2002). We cannot be complacent, since there is an emerging consensus that crime - which raises safety issues - is a growing concern among tourism stakeholders who fear the potential damage that it may inflict on the perception of safety and, by extension, the industry (Volker and Sore´e, 2002). Of even greater concern than crime is the issue of visitor harassment, which also impacts on the tourist's sense of safety. It may be claimed that, although varying in severity, it is a widespread phenomenon.
