The hospitality industry blends cultural, leisure, and business interactions, playing a pivotal role in shaping the global economy, especially in tourism. This sector is undergoing significant transformation, particularly in the EMEA region.
According to Statista, the global hospitality market is projected to reach USD 5.8 trillion by 2027, growing at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.5%.
