Growth in tourism and an increase in investments in hotels projects

Market expansion is anticipated to be fueled by the enormous increase in tourism. According to a report from the World Travel & Tourism Council published in August 2022, travel and tourism (along with its direct, indirect, and induced effects) was one of the largest industries in the world, responsible for one out of every four new jobs created globally, 10.3% of all employment (333 million jobs), and 10.3% of global GDP (USD 9.6 trillion). Meanwhile, USD 1.8 trillion or 6.8% of total exports was spent by foreign visitors in 2019. Tourism and travel assist socioeconomic growth, employment creation, and poverty eradication. In turn, this promotes affluence and has a large beneficial social impact, giving women, minorities, and young people special opportunities. The advantages of travel and tourism go well beyond their immediate effects on GDP and employment; they also include indirect gains that flow through the whole travel ecosystem and the connections to other industries' supply chains.

The market for smart hospitality is being driven by rising investments in hotel projects throughout the world. For instance, the Jujhar Group, based in Ludhiana, purchased around 12.5 acres of property in its hometown in June 2022 with plans to spend over Rs 350 crore on the development of two hotels. Additionally, it paid NCLT Rs 67.5 crore to purchase the Fairfield Marriott hotel in Amritsar. In order to support the budget hotel economy in smaller towns, increase tourism, and create more employment possibilities, the hotel sector has also requested the centre to grant smaller hotel projects worth Rs 10 crore an infrastructure status. This encourages smaller business owners to invest by lowering a number of expenses, most notably taxes.

Surge in demand for real-time optimized guest experience management

Hotel owners can create a long-lasting, value-driven connection with every visitor and increase the likelihood that they will leave a good review by providing a more individualised travel experience. Compiling a unique visitor experience boosts brand reputation and customer loyalty in addition to generating income. Intelligent hospitality solutions provide hoteliers access to data-backed insights and behaviour that can be used to create a 360-degree perspective of every visitor, improving their experience and providing better customer service. Hoteliers may access a dashboard with structured data from all sources, which not only curates a customised perspective of each visitor but also helps to counterbalance operational burden, with the aid of integrated, digital platforms like Property Management System (PMS) and Customer Relationship Management (CRM).

Additionally, increasing the passenger return rate and decreasing hotel operating expenses, improves brand positioning. Hotels now gain from offering a mobile-centric guest experience that improves the client's convenience and self-service. Hoteliers may design a more connected and convenient stay for their customers by developing a mobile-centric booking experience, providing keyless access using a mobile device, text-based communications, mobile concierge, etc.

Digital Capabilities

Over the past two years, the coronavirus epidemic has disproportionately affected the hotel sector. With the aid of robots and artificial intelligence, the travel and tourism business has an unrivaled chance to improve as many areas of the world are once again opening up (AI). Moreover, the future of hospitality is AI. Although it may be difficult to conceive, experts believe that humans will play a smaller role in the sector over the next ten to twenty years as robotics and AI become more prevalent.

For instance, According to Hotel Technology News in January 2020, Artificial intelligence (AI) implementation has grown 270% over the past four years and 37% in the past year alone. Additionally, the hotel sector uses artificial intelligence for everyday operations automation, revenue management, and guest experience. As new technologies enter the market virtually every day, managers must decide where their investment will have the biggest impact when using AI in hotels depending on their available budget, guest feedback, and development ambitions. Many hotel organizations are implementing AI for ease down their daily operations.

For instance, twelve Edwardian Hotels-owned Radisson Blu sites now provide Edward, an artificially intelligent service that can report on hotel services, provide directions and advice, and even quickly collect customer complaints through SMS. Such technologies will further helps in driving growth of smart hospitality market.

Furthermore, IoT has left its impact on practically every industry, and the hotel industry was not exempt. IoT is already being used by several hotels to regulate the thermostats in the rooms. Hotels may control room temperatures using linked thermostats during check-in and check-out, cutting the expense of cooling or heating. IoT has changed service delivery in the hotel sector, enhanced client satisfaction, and cut expenses. Several hotels are adopting IoT technologies laverage its advantages for providing smart features to the users.

For instance, in April 2020, Sinclair Hotel has partnered with Intel, to create the "hotel of the future" in Fort Worth, Texas. Using POE (power of ethernet) rooms include automation for lighting, climate control, and a virtual assistant. Such improvements are contributing in rising demand of smart hospitality market.

End-User Adoption

The growing digitalization in smart hotels for selected hotel organizations by using automation technologies and robotics rising the smart hospitality adoption by end-users. In addition, to provide a more individualised experience, hotels utilize automation to track the preferences and behaviour of their visitors. Additionally, automation may help hotels save time and money. For instance, certain technologies enable them to reduce their energy costs by up to 30%. One strategy in the hospitality sector is to offer the best hotel possible. Guest-room Automation has improved the comfort and convenience of visitors' stays while also keeping accommodations up to date.

For instance, a technique called "daylight harvesting" is employed by many of the best hotels and resorts. They do this by utilising Internet of Things (IoT) gadgets, which automatically change the LED lights dependent on the amount of natural light sensed in the rooms. Such factors propels the growth of smart hospitality market.

Furthermore, robotic technology is being used more and more in hotels to boost operations and the visitor experience. Robots are becoming more widespread in the hotel sector, from check-in to checkout. For instance, the first robotic concierge was unveiled at the Aloft Hotel in Cupertino, California, in the early 2000s, marking the beginning of robotics in the hospitality sector. Additionally, housekeeping, food and beverage, security, and other hotel departments all employ robots to some extent. And there are a lot of advantages to deploying robots in the hotel sector. By automating routine manual processes, robots can contribute to greater operational efficiency. Organizations are adopting robot hospitality for providing better service experiences to customers.

For instance, IBM is collaborating with hotel chain Hilton to launch “Connie,” the world’s first AI-enabled robot concierge. Small humanoid robot Connie, which bears the name of Hilton founder Conrad Hilton, uses information from Watson and the travel site WayBlazer to provide customers recommendations for nearby attractions and hotels. Such innovations bring key values needed in smart hospitality such as automation, flexibility, faster time to market and better customer experience increasing the end-user experience.

Government Initiatives

Various companies and government bodies are collaborating to strengthen R&D in the hotel industry with evolving productive alliances that lead to indigenous design, development, manufacturing, and deployment of cost-effective smart hospitality products and solutions. For instance, in March 2021, IFC, a member of the World Bank Group, and Indian Hotels Company (IHCL), South Asia's largest hospitality company launched an open call for innovators worldwide to bring efficiently, climate-smart, cost-effective cooling solutions to India's hospitality sector. The TechEmerge Sustainable Cooling Innovation Program in the Indian hospitality sector has been funded by the UK Government. It provides entrepreneurs with market access and a pooled pool of up to $500,000 in grant money to test out novel solutions, including those developed locally in India, that lessen the high energy consumption and negative environmental effects of cooling systems. Such innovations expected to expand the driving growth of the market.

Furthermore, the growing development by the government to innovate and test smart hotels. For instance, in October 2022, The Japanese Government launched the first Nikko Hotel in AMATA Industrial Estate, redefining Smart Living. The hotel Nikko AMATA city Chonburi is the second Nikko hotel in Thailand, a hotel chain under the management of Okura Nikko Hotel Management Group, an international authentic Japanese hotel chain. These initiatives in Japan have the main objective to give the customer an experience of the Japanese culture through the food and smart hospitality.
