Old to Bold: How Hotel Adaptive Reuse Transforms Communities
Interest in “sustainable travel” is driving new hotel offerings.
In response to consumers and governments, sustainable travel is increasing. Guests are demanding sustainable options, such as locally sourced food and electric vehicle charging stations. Meanwhile, governments — such as in France, where short-haul domestic air travel was banned, or in Bhutan, which charges tourists a daily fee to offset overtourism — are implementing regulations to curb emissions.
Consumer demand is leading hotels to offer on-site health and wellness experiences.
In response to changing guest preferences, hotels and resorts have an opportunity to embrace health and wellness within their developments, becoming destinations that host and facilitate varied experiences, from nature retreats to yoga programs.
Hotels and resorts will blend entertainment, sports, and residential spaces into a single integrated experience.
Hotel operators are focusing more on immersive experiences and integrated resorts that merge live music, sports, entertainment, casinos, and residential components. These cross-industry synergies are driving hotel and resort stays as guests seek meaningful social connections and enriching experiences — whether on-site or outside the property.
