We had GfK conduct a survey among 47,000 respondents.The demand for table water in the hospitality industry is increasing. Dutch tap water is of super good quality. But are the Dutch actually prepared to pay for tap water as table water in the hospitality industry? To gain more insight into this demand, we had GfK conduct a survey among 47,000 respondents.
