The ground-breaking three-dimensional research study-Understanding Gluten
and Allergen-Free Experiences of Guests & Hospitality Worldwide-was released
at The National Restaurant Association's Restaurant and Hotel/Motel Show in
Chicago.  Focused on eating out and travel experiences, this innovative
study surveys guests managing food allergies, customers living with celiac /
coeliac and gluten-free diets, as well as the food service and hospitality
professionals who cater to these individuals. 

The primary purpose of this 90-day benchmarking study, sponsored by
AllergyFree PassportR and its affiliate GlutenFree PassportR, is for guests
and hospitality professionals to begin to understand each others'
experiences and improve the dialogue between both sides of the table.  

Since safely eating out is cited as one of the top concerns for those
managing special diets, this research will provide a 360 degree view of
consumer and business experiences. With guests, hospitality professionals
and communities working together-food allergies, celiac / coeliac and
special diets can become universally understood and accepted everywhere!  

In recognition of food allergy and celiac / coeliac awareness initiatives
occurring around the world coupled with one of largest hospitality
conference with over 70,000 attendees from 100-plus countries, the survey
was launched in May ending on the 31st of August 2007.
