Travel, Tourism & Hospitality

Some of the key influencers on travel and tourism in recent years have been globalization, digitalization, sustainability, and the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic. Ease of mobility, increased awareness of new destinations, and the internet as a source of information and commerce have caused this market to grow exponentially. Yet with this growth has also come increasing public concern about the industry’s impact on the environment, resulting in consumer demand for more sustainable travel options. After being hit hard by the health crisis, the travel and tourism industries are now gradually recovering. When it comes to the future of this market, increased mobile usage in travel, implementation of new technologies, and a less marked difference between business and leisure trips are all examples of changing consumer interests in the post-pandemic world.
