The next ten years belong to this region

Research on where hospitality and tourism are going, plus institute news, events and open days.
News and insights
What is changing.
Wellness stopped being a spa menu and became an economy
Asia Pacific holds a two trillion dollar share of it, and spas were among the fastest growing sectors last year.
What actually kills a hospitality business
Singapore closed more food and beverage outlets in 2025 than in almost two decades. Very few of them failed on the food.
What AI has actually changed, and what it has not

Five things the industry is actually building right now
Hotel dining as a business rather than an amenity, wellness with evidence behind it, and sustainability that has become a requirement.
The industry is growing faster than it can staff itself
Ninety-one million new roles are forecast by 2035, most of them in this region. That is a supply problem, and supply problems are opportunities.
The most successful founders are not who you think
The research says middle-aged, and it says industry experience matters more than youth. If you have been on the floor for years, that is the asset.

The World Economic Forum surveyed over a thousand employers. The skills they name are not the ones most people are training for.
People are no longer travelling to eat. They are travelling to learn how
Asia Pacific is forecast as the fastest growing culinary tourism market in the world, and the growth is in participation rather than reservations.
What the people who fund this industry are watching next
Agentic AI, a market splitting at both ends, domestic travel coming back, and mega events reshaping a whole year of demand.
Drive is necessary. It is not sufficient. Here is the other half
Everybody who opens a place cares about it. That is the baseline, not the differentiator.
