"Although the trend in coastal and nature tourism has been declining in recent years, it is still the main market for Danish tourism. Denmark's neighbouring markets exhibit high travel intensity and constant demand for high-quality travel and holiday products. ... VisitDenmark's tourist survey from 2011 indicates the high potential that exists in the target group referred to as "the good life". This target group consists of young adults and couples without children who go on holiday to enjoy life, experience natural scenery, cultural amenities, cycle rides, gastronomy etc." from DENMARK AT WORK PLAN FOR GROWTH IN DANISH TOURISM, Jan 2014

is the taste which is a little different also in dinner and when. Moreover, eating becomes a cause which produces relation with people. Congratulation has certainly delicious entertainment, and if a meal is delicious, I will feel that it becomes friendly with those who eat together. As for this, the thing of a site, the thing of the place about the delicious, the relation between people and a person, etc. were considered, and this construction was produced. Choosing a table can lead to choosing the site in the surroundings of it, or it can choose relation with people and a person. If there is a mechanism in which exchange with such people and nature takes place in a natural life style flow, is a pretty scene more produced in everyday life, and can we live happier?
