The Economic Roundup is an excerpted translation of the Chinese-language ROC Economic Yearbook published by the Economic Daily News, a sister publication of the Taiwan Economic News. The yearbook is the most comprehensive and authoritative source for understanding the fundamentals of Taiwan's economy, both in the macro and micro aspects. The excerpted translation gives foreign readers a concise view of the island's overall economic picture. It is divided into four parts: general economy, primary industries, secondary industries, and tertiary industries.
 
 Tertiary Industry > Dining Establishments
According to the study of the Ministry of Economic Affairs, aggregate revenue of Taiwan's dining industry reached NT$293.2 billion in 2005, 7% higher than 2004, including NT$259.7 billion for restaurants, up 8.41%, NT$25.5 billion for beverage stores, down 2.62%, and NT$8 billion for other dining establishments, down 3.23%.

Judging from statistics, after experiencing the storms of the SARS epidemic and the 911 terrorist attack, domestic tourist industry had gradually picked up, which, plus increase in out-eating population, enabled the domestic dining market to record rapid growth. However, different from past years, on restaurants enjoyed brisk business, with beverage stores and others stores (such as pastries and other snacks) suffering slight business decline. It shows that the composite-style management of restaurants, which also offers drinks and snacks, has taken effect, helping them to recover their lost clients.
