Hospitality Industry - REDEFINING Leisure And Recreation

Abstract

We live in an age of cocooning: there is a tangible need to feel secure and pampered in a world of terrorism and uncertainty. The latest trend in travel is not high-altitude trekking or exploring remote and difficult reaches — it is the emergence of hotels as complete travel destinations. The accommodation industry is rising to the challenge, bolstering city hotels with extra facilities to fit the urban oasis template and creating resorts so complete it almost becomes redundant to go out.
