COVID-19 to Create Widespread Instability in the Hospitality Industry

The luxury hotel market growth is expected to shrink due to the COVID-19 pandemic, with a market registering an astonishing decline of 60.82% in 2020 and reaching a value of USD 119.55 billion in 2021. One main reason for this unprecedented downturn in the hospitality industry is the steep drop in tourist activities worldwide. As per the estimations released by the UN World Tourism Organization (UNWTO), export revenues from tourist arrivals fell by approximately USD 910 billion to 1.2 trillion in 2020, potentially shrinking the global GDP by 1.5% to 2.8%. Hotels, in particular, have been the hardest hit. For example, according to the American Hotel & Lodging Association (AHLA), 71% of hotels will not survive the next six months without federal assistance and 77% will have to lay-off workers. Luxury hotel chains, such as Le Meridien, have also resorted to cost-cutting, given the new travel bans and the possibility of movement restrictions. In sum, markets associated with the travel, tourism, and hospitality industry are set to enter a period of deep financial stress on account of the coronavirus.

Emergence of Eco-friendly Luxury Hotels to Accelerate the Market

The development of hotels guided by the principles of environmental sustainability has altered perceptions surrounding luxury accommodations. The increasing environmental consciousness among new-age travelers has redefined the dynamics hitherto governing the hospitality industry, leading to the construction of eco-friendly luxury hotel brands. For example, the Andaz Maui at Wailea Resort in Hawaii has been conceived to minimize waste and emissions. The resort features a solar water heater system and variable speed chillers, while in the in-room settings, the glassware is made from recycled materials along with automated temperature controls. Similarly, at the Saffire Freycinet in Tasmania, Australia, Modwood is used as a wood substitute, LED technology is extensively utilized to make the entire facility energy-efficient, and natural cycle airflow systems have also been installed. The growing popularity of such premium properties in exotic locations is set to accelerate the expansion of this market.
