旅游和商务活动自古有之，饭店餐馆就应运而生。相传欧洲最初的食宿设施约始于古罗马时期，其发展进程经历了所谓古代客栈时期、大饭店时期、商业饭店时期等阶段，其间几经波折起落。第二次世界大战以后，欧美各地随着经济形势和旅游业的不断发展进入了新型饭店时期，并逐步形成了庞大独立的饭店行业。

Tourism and business activities have come into being since ancient times, and restaurant restaurants have come into being. According to legend, the original accommodation facilities in Europe started in ancient Rome. Its development process has gone through such stages as the ancient Inn period, the Grand Hotel period and the commercial hotel stage. After the Second World War, along with the continuous development of the economic situation and tourism industry, Europe and America entered the new hotel era, and gradually formed a huge independent hotel industry.
