The world is changing every day. More and more new ideas and innovations come out. The hospitality and tourism industry is facing different challenges and opportunities. Trends in the industry can be just a flash in the pan but some can last for a long time. The following analyzes three emerging global trends that are likely to impact the growth of the industry in the future.
One of the trends is co-living. It was not prevalent in the hospitality industry in the past. The co-living trend arose from the shortage of accommodation in some cities as a solution to the urban housing crisis. Some pod hotels and poshtels are developed. But co-living is totally different. Elements in a co-living space include shared kitchen, a common area, which grants you opportunities to make friends with those from all around the world. Companies are still working on this new concept. Therefore, co-living may be a short-to-medium-term trend which will boom in the next few years.
Different factors contribute to the rise of this trend. Co-living is all about sharing, interaction and developing connections. Cultural and social factors play important roles in this trend. In today’s world, people are highly educated. Discrimination and nonacceptance towards people from other races or culture

For example, a boutique hotel, Aloft Cupertino, has a robot butler called Botlr that can move between various floors of the hotel to take items like chargers to guests. (Technology in the hospitality). Infrared scanner is used to detect body heat within a room so cleaning staff will know if the room is occupied to prevent disruption to customers. For tourists, they can simply use the apps and booing platforms to plan their travel route, book the hotel and air ticket. They also actively engage in social networking sites like Facebook and TripAdvisor to give feedback to the
Again, as stated many times before, this similarly happened during the industrial revolution and the “Gilded Age”, where again, due to the sudden flow of Irish immigrants because of “The Great Famine”, xenophobia of them began to infect American citizens, most likely
Prejudice can control the minds of people and turn them into something they are

Firstly, segregation of the Blacks and Whites. This is the result of stereotyping. Stereotyping is the linkage of a certain image or idea to people of certain groups, usually based on inadequate information. Since media is unable to show the public everything, decisions made by the media when showing a person or groups can reinforce stereotyping (Baran 438).
Racial Bias in the United States The United States is home of many diverse ethnicities that come here to live the American Dream. Although they are legal immigrants, white americans still treat them as a minority group. There is still racial bias here that is causing tensions between ethnic groups despite all the efforts to stop it.
In the modern day, it has almost become a crime if you do not follow the “normal” social situation and everything included. The decisions on what food we eat and even what clothes we wear are greatly influenced by standards set in place by larger companies. Human beings have the urge to fit in and be accepted by the majority. People are so afraid of being judged and so concerned with fitting in that they would do anything to make themselves look good. It is impossible that the human race be so unique that everyone is completely different.
When one hears about The United States of America, one automatically thinks of the idea that has been instilled into our brains, the idea that America was founded and continues to be based on freedom and equality for all, a belief that once anyone immigrated to America, he or she will be welcomed with arms open and will become a member of the “melting pot.” However, what is the truth behind this expectation? Various events and experiences have proved otherwise. In the article titled “Causes of Prejudice”, written by Vincent N. Parrillo, a sociology professor at William Paterson University, he explains the various causes that are correlated with the result of prejudice especially in America. These theories can be used to try and understand racism in America and the interview done by Studs Terkel, a renown oral historian, of C.P. Ellis a former member of the Ku Klux Klan.
But that does not mean that their industry is on the decline. Recently I traveled to a nearby city to catch a flight and discovered that a local hotel offered long term airport parking at a discount compared to the local parking lots with a free shuttle to the airport terminal. Innovative amenities like this can really add value by providing a needed service that has little to do with the traditional hotel services. If they continue to look for services travelers need, hotels will surely continue the long history all successful industries have surmounted in the past, identify and provide innovative, value-based products and
Holiday Inn is a world wide chain and its international functional strategies will always yield profitable returns. The potential customers are from all over the world. It has been noted that the holiday inn company has given the market such as Europe, Asia, America with regards to their social-cultural needs. Holiday Inn, like all other hotels has established a good system in determining the needs of the market. The company uses the concept of product, personality, behaviour of the customer and purchasing to its advantage.
Every industry to include the hospitality industry is impacted by external factors which directly influence organizational behavior and decision making. There are numerous factors to be considered, but political, economic, and social are three of the most influential. These outside factors sway managerial operational decisions daily regarding personnel, spending, policy, and short-term and long-term strategic planning concerning both core and exterior operations. As within every industry, the hospitality industry has unmanageable elements that affect management or ownership of hospitality establishments (Lewis 2017). Understanding these factors is important because it provides an opportunity for contingency planning (Lewis, 2017).
I. Trafficking in persons is a serious crime and a violation of human rights. II. Every year, thousands of men, women and children fall into the hands of traffickers, in their own countries and abroad. III. Almost every country in the world is affected by trafficking, whether as a country of origin, transit or destination for victims.
Nowadays hospitality and tourism industry is one of the main industry in this world. A lot of people need a place to escape from their routines or even just to stay overnight as they having a business trip to other places. We call these people as customer or guest. Human mobility from one place to another , both in the country and from and abroad is very high. Human mobility is not only related to business activities but also recretional activities.
