On holiday, the range of alternatives to meat, milk and eggs can vary greatly depending on the region. It is often easier to find a larger selection of plant-based substitutes when traveling in the West than in other parts of the world. With the right preparation, however, nothing stands in the way of a vegetarian-vegan holiday. All it takes is a little curiosity and awareness of other cultures, and a little preliminary research to find out about the local cuisine and animal-friendly products.
It is important to keep in mind that animal welfare standards and animal welfare laws differ in different countries, there are different product labels or certifications and the understanding of vegetarian or vegan food can be different than one might think.
In order to avoid unpleasant surprises, it is therefore advisable to learn the basics of the local language and learn about the culture and local food before going on holiday. This means that anyone who prefers a plant-based diet can easily find dishes that suit their own diet.
