In general, the growth of international tourism arrivals significantly outpaces growth of GDP.
In years when world economic growth exceeds 4 per cent, the growth of tourism volume tends to be higher.
When GDP growth falls below 2 per cent, tourism growth tends to be even lower.
1975-2000: tourism increased at an average rate of 4.6 per cent a year.

    When discussing global demographics, the majority of information available will state that the world’s population growth has slowed. Though both “developed” and “less developed” nations are struggling to sustain their aging populations, developed countries such as Japan are experiencing the direst affects as studies will suggest that within the next decade the countries wealth will decline as a result of having to support the elderly portion of the population. World population has more than doubled in the last 50 years, and it has nearly quadrupled since 1900. Currently, world population is growing at a rate of 1.35 percent per year. The United Nations’ most recent forecast, however, predicts a slowing in the growth of world population to about 0.33 percent per year by 2050, at which time forecasters are predicting that world population will total 8.9 billion persons (A global demographic…Mueller, Paige, Ball, Asli). The hospitality industry relies heavily on the younger generations to fill front-line and entry level positions therefore the diminishing percentile of youth in certain countries will hold negative consequences in coming years for companies who rely on their skills to function.…

    Abstract In the 21st century, with the increasing levels of globalization in hospitality industry, hotel companies will need to learn different management approaches to survive and develop in environmental circumstances with high levels of uncertainty as well as understand the implication of future impacts, both positive and negative, of the changing environment in which they operate. As international trade and business expand, there is no question that international linkage will become more important for the hotel industry. This essay focuses on globalization in the hotel industry and explains how the increasing levels of globalization, in this particular industry may affect the internal operating environment (e.g. organizational culture, structure, management styles etc.) of hotel companies Effects of Globalization Globalization has various aspects which affect the world in several different ways such as: * Industrial - emergence of worldwide production markets and broader access to a range of foreign products for consumers and companies. Particularly movement of material and goods between and within national boundaries. * Financial - emergence of worldwide financial markets and better access to external financing for borrowers. As these worldwide structures grew more quickly than any transnational regulatory regime, the instability of the global financial infrastructure dramatically increased, as evidenced by the financial crises of late 2008. * Economic - realization of a global common market, based on the freedom of exchange of goods and capital. The interconnectedness of these markets however meant that an economic collapse in any one given country could not be contained. * Political - some use "globalization" to mean the creation of a world government which regulates the relationships among governments and guarantees the rights arising from…

    Over the past thirty years, the hotel and restaurant industries have evolved at a rapid rate, with the hotel industry coming to maturity before its less capitalized cousin. Hotels use a wide range of data analytics to set rate, staffing levels, connect with their customers, and bring that unique attention required to obtain repeat customers. Restaurants behave more like hotels did before the 1990’s; by relying on their staff to remember regular customer’s habits, by not differentiating their most profitable customers from least profitable, and by making decisions without the guidance of advanced data.…
