• International Vacations With the concept of
  globalization getting impetus, leisure travelers
  are more inclined to go for vacations in
  international destinations. In the US, there are
  multiple destinations that attract billions of
  travelers every year, mostly from the foreign
  lands. Among the third world countries, India is
  in the forefront to attract international
  visitors from diverse regions of the globe. As

Go Green Majority travelers prefer green and
eco-friendly lodgings. Recent surveys revealed
that approximately 70 of the tourists are
willing to pay an extra amount when it comes to
eco-friendly lodging. Though the research finding
may be speculated as a way for hotels to attract
more consumers, it also poses challenge before
them. To install eco-friendly appliances that
comply with LEED (Leadership in Energy and
Environmental Design) standards, the hotels must
first ensure good revenue returns. To balance
this, the hotels may reduce complementary
services, so that the budget can be used to
install more such appliances.

Worker Retention Rate

• The hospitality industry is one of the largest
  employment giving sectors in the world. Along
  with permanent staff, it gives employment to
  part-time workers too, who after gaining some
  experience leave the hotel in search of some
  better opportunity. The low wages and long
  working hours are the most significant factors
  for low retention rates. However, to cope up with
  the situation the industry gurus are now
  considering measures to retain skilled workers
  and minimize long working hours via

  smartphones represent more than 50. According to
  some researches, there will be around 50 billion
  connected devices in circulation by the end of
  2020. In 2013, smartphone searches for holiday

  more business. Thus, a positive social media
  presence becomes crucial for hotels to attract

• Todays smart travelers crave for savory food
  varieties and not for celebrity chefs. While in
  the past it was almost a trend to employ
  celebrity chefs to bring FB business, todays
  travelers arent focused much on the chefs in the
  kitchen as they are focused on the food served on
  their table. The factor on which most of todays
  leisure travelers focus is of healthy and organic
  food and diet restrictions. To bring more FB
  business, the hotel professionals can show from
  where the vegetables are coming from. This allows
  the guests to connect more with the foods and the
  hotels overall experience.
