Global hospitality
Key influences are affecting the hospitality sector and include the global credit crunch, the scarcity of capital, green building and rapidly shifting demographic trends. At the same time, an industry based historically on standardization and known for similar, traditional hotel rooms has evolved into a vehicle through which designers, developers and consumers alike can make a personal statement. The result: “Lifestyle” hotels have emerged across the globe in every size, style, segment and market.
The global lodging industry is expected to face strong headwinds with a decline in lodging demand and an increase in lodging supply. This will, in turn, force the industry to reduce costs and focus on the bottom line.
