As this year comes to an end, it is the perfect time to analyze this year's trends in hospitality and try to predict trends and innovations for the new year. Here are 5 interesting concepts to think about as the field progresses.
1. Sustainable Practices
In today's day and age, we should all be thinking about ways to help the planet. Sustainable practices are becoming the norm and are even expected by customers. In 2025, we hope to see big corporations taking steps and doing their part to become more sustainable. From cutting down on waste and saving energy to procuring local and organic goods, companies are already making substantial strides to lessen their ecological footprint.
2. Revitalizing and Therapeutic Wellness Journeys
With the rise in mental health issues, people are looking for travel experiences to relax and rejuvenate their souls. Travelers are searching for ways to switch off from their busy day-to-day lives. With offers like spa experiences and yoga or meditation classes, these digital detox trips are becoming increasingly popular.
3. Strengthening Human Connections in the Age of AI
AI will continue to play an important role in the development of hospitality. However, the true power of this tool lies in expanding personal experiences. By automating routine tasks using AI, more time is left for the hotel staff to focus on building human connections and attending to the needs of the guests.
4. Accommodations for Remote Work
Due to the change in work habits and the influx of remote workers, hotels are adapting by introducing comfortable workspaces into the travel experience. By accommodating business travelers and guests who usually work from home, hotels can open new revenue streams.
5. Technology in the Foreground
By 2025, it is expected that guests will have the possibility of booking every aspect of their stay on their mobile devices. Most customers prefer such contactless services, so the industry will have to adapt. Using this new touchless technology, guests can skip check-in and head straight to their rooms using tools like mobile check-ins and digital keys. This trend emphasizes convenience, enabling guests to manage their stay without any holdups.
