It will grow from $871.24 billion in 2023 to $998.81 billion in 2024 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 14.6%. The expansion observed in the historical period can be ascribed to an increase in disposable income, the proliferation of mobile applications for hotels, restaurants, and travel, enhanced earning capacity, the growth of emerging markets, advancements in the travel and tourism sectors, and the rise in the aging population with early retirement. Factors that impeded growth during the historical period included the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, a shortage of talent in emerging Asia, the growing influence of online travel agencies (OTAs), challenges in customer retention, and the availability of alternative options.

The tourism and hotel industries are experiencing a positive impact from the increasing use of social media and widespread access to mass media. As tourists share their travel information, photos, and videos on social platforms, global awareness of tourist destinations and recreational experiences offered by various countries is on the rise. For example, a report from Kepios Pte. Ltd. in October 2022 revealed a significant increase in social media users by 227 million over the past year, reaching 4.70 billion by the beginning of July 2022. The global social media user base expanded by more than 5% in the last year, constituting 59 percent of the world's total population. On a daily basis, the world collectively spends over 10 billion hours on social media platforms, equivalent to nearly 1.2 million years of human existence. Consequently, the growing use of social media and broader access to mass media are contributing to increased demand in the hotel and other travel accommodation market.

The anticipated growth in the hotel and other travel accommodation markets is driven by the expanding tourism sector. Tourism, encompassing cultural, social, and economic aspects, involves individuals traveling to nations or locations beyond their usual environments for personal, business, or professional reasons. Crucial to the tourism sector, hotels and other travel accommodations provide visitors with comfortable and convenient lodging options, contributing significantly to local economies through tourism-related expenditures and job creation. They play a pivotal role in attracting and accommodating tourists, enhancing their travel experiences. For instance, in June 2022, the U.S. Department of Commerce reported an increase in international visitors to the United States, reaching 22.1 million in 2021, up from 19.2 million in 2020. Hence, the expanding tourism sector is a driving force behind the growth of the hotel and other travel accommodation markets.

The hotel industry is undergoing transformation through the adoption of technologies that enhance customer experiences, resulting in significant improvements and cost savings. Key trends in the accommodation industry include the integration of near-field-communication (NFC) technology, infrared technology, and the use of robots. NFC facilitates data exchange between devices, enabling instant and secure mobile payments. Infrared sensors address customer complaints related to housekeeping interruptions. Hotels are also deploying robots for tasks such as delivering amenities to guest rooms. Hotel operators are investing in automated systems and technologies to streamline processes, reduce costs, and personalize guest experiences.

Leading companies in the hotel and other travel accommodation markets are intensifying their focus on developing innovative solutions, including cost-effective booking options, to gain a competitive advantage. Cost-effective booking solutions refer tools, platforms, or systems that enable individuals to reserve services and accommodations at efficient and economical rates. For example, in July 2021, Revolut, a UK-based financial management company, launched Stays, an initiative allowing users to book hotels and accommodations through the Revolut app. As part of the company's strategy to become a 'super app,' offering multiple services through a single interface, Stays aims to simplify the booking process, allowing users to find and book ideal accommodations in their preferred destinations while also providing cost savings with up to 10% cashback on app bookings.
