Future of Hospitality 2030
Ahead of a global dialogue on the future of hotels and hospitality, here are some key trends that will impact the sector. Six years on from a major programme undertaken in partnership with IHG, this is a review of 20 trends identified back in 2013 plus a further 20 that could have growing impact over the next decade. It is the starting point for a major new project.
With an initial workshop in Houston in October, a number of additional expert discussions are now being planned in key locations around the world – each hosted by leading hospitality brands and collectively building a rich, informed view of future change for the sector.

32. From Experience to Adventure
Millennial and Gen Z travelers are looking beyond curated experiences toward
exotic locations, self-guided, less-planned and personally enriching adventures.
33. Chinese Super-Apps
Chinese conglomerates accelerate their impact across the hospitality ecosystem.
Most Chinese bookings are made via mobile: Ctrip will be the WeChat of travel.
34. Flexible Formats
Many brands are adopting increasingly flexible modular format options.
More specific propositions and experiences are tailored to niche markets.
35. Algorithms and Analytics
While legacy brands are locked into old room-centric systems, newer hotel
chains leverage cloud data with AI and BI to make better use of all their assets.
36. Automated Hospitality
Automation is progressively embedded within hospitality. Robots providing
guest support are the most visible, but behind the scenes use will be pivotal.
37. Integrated Efficiency
New technology impacts hotel operations. Employee tasks change, buildings
become more connected and hotels are increasingly ‘intelligent’ destinations.
38. Facial Recognition
Facial recognition tech is already dominant in fashion retail and fast-growing in
transport. Its use for ‘friction-less’ interaction in hospitality is set to accelerate.
39. Accessing the Inaccessible
Space tourism, deep sea exploration plus a rising interest in Antarctica and other
remote locations drive more to seek to access the previously inaccessible.
40. Not Travelling
Vastly improved video conferencing, growing environmental concerns and a
re-evaluation of personal time all align to reduce non-critical business travel.
41. Flight Shame
More cultures feel guilty travelling by plane for long distance vacations.
Brands rethink travel options, looking for local, low-carbon alternatives.
42. Anti-Tourism
The push back against tourism spreads from notable overcrowded centres to
become a movement linking political, environmental and social concerns.
43. Communities of the Moment
Greater local integration, more connected guests and the desire for purposeful
interaction drive a rise in curated temporary communities of shared interest.
44. Reclaiming Car Parks
The growth in ‘Mobility as a Service’ and self-driving cars frees up vast tracts
of car parking for new venue development at major transportation hubs.
45. Engineering Serendipity
Venues seek to enable surprise connections within unexpected spaces. They
provide zones for de-connection from the core – sanctuaries within an event.
46. Rising Cyber Security
More frequent, larger hacks, sophisticated cyber threats and more devices raise
anxiety about connecting to networks. Virtual security is as pivotal as physical.
47. Positive Local Impact
As well as economic benefit, events are expected to provide positive local
environmental and social impact –they are judged on the success of this.
48. Adaptable Spaces
Venues adopt the latest flexible, automated options for fast reconfiguration.
Event planners embrace adaptable spaces to give clients multiple experiences.
49. Inclusive Rural Locations
Corporate customers increasingly prefer the financial and social value of
all-inclusive residential campus sites in memorable locations outside the city.
50. Immersive Virtual Reality
The evolution of VR / AR enable many experiences to move to virtual platforms.
These become more immersive and personalized than traditional options.
51. No More Kitchens
The ubiquity of online food delivery with vast ghost kitchens and the growing
desire to support local restaurants mean hotel kitchens are no longer needed.
53. Further Exploration
Over the next twelve months we will be running a number of expert foresight
workshops around the world. Hosted by different hospitality brands, these will
further explore, enrich and detail the key drivers of change impacting the sector.
