The hospitality industry has been undergoing tremendous changes and disruptions over the last two decades. It is constantly growing and changing ever-more rapidly. Digitization introduced new dimensions to the hospitality sector and intensified the competition by developing personalized experience in every aspect. It widened the range of offerings and increased consumer outreach and connectivity tremendously.
International Tourists' arrival is expected to reach 30.5 million by 2028. The medical tourism industry alone is expected to touch US$ 9 billion by 2020. The contribution of visitor exports to total exports is estimated to increase by 5.5 percent per annum during 2018–2028.
As per our 2020 predictions, in the short-run, the hospitality sector is bound to stay affected due to the economic slowdown caused by the COVID-19 outbreak but in the long-run industry will recover and showcase the growth.
