Traveling and hotels are two large service industries that are a part of the larger hospitality industry. Both the Travel and Tourism industry as well as the Hotel Industry are growing quickly worldwide as a result of increased globalization, digitalization, sustainability, and new technology.
When it comes to lodging, travelers have many choices depending on their preferences and the destination they are visiting. Some of the most popular types of accommodations for tourists and business travelers are hotels which can vary from a low-cost budget option to luxury suites and penthouses.
A hotel stay can be very comfortable and convenient especially for families who might be traveling together with children or business travelers on a work trip. Most hotels offer a full range of amenities from restaurants, spas and fitness centers to room services and free WiFi throughout the property. Most hotel rooms also include a private bathroom and toilet, a flat-screen TV, a small fridge, and some may even come with kitchen facilities.
For those looking for a more unique experience, there are Airbnb and hostels which offer different accommodation options with shared facilities for guests to socialize and meet each other. Hostels and Airbnb accommodations typically have common areas with various entertainment options such as rooftop/in-house bars, and swimming pools. Traveling in the off-season is often a great option as prices for things like hotels, rental cars and day tours are lower during this time due to lower demand.
