A system and method for creating a dynamic and participatory atmosphere at an establishment relating to a particular remote locale. A thematic configuration comprises décor and display objects like those associated with static thematic configurations of the remote locale. A dedicated communications link is established between the establishment and the remote locale, the link providing two-way visual and aural communication between the establishment and the remote locale such that people at both locations may interact with each other. The establishment preferably includes an open-air environment to simulate the setting of the remote locale. Environmental controls may be used to maintain a corresponding yet comfortable environment. In addition to sight, sounds and environmental factors being used to simulate a desired remote locale, location-specific scents may be dispersed to add to the illusion of being at the remote locale. Tactile sensations consistent with the remote locale may also be provided.
