The hotel industry is thriving in all four regions, but the Middle East and Asia Pacific are expected to see the most growth in 2023. According to a report by STR, the Middle East hotel industry is expected to grow by 7.8% in 2023, followed by Asia Pacific (7.2%), Europe (6.0%), North America (5.4%), the Caribbean (4.8%), Central America (4.2%), South America (3.7%), and Africa (3.5%).


The Middle East's growth is being driven by a number of factors, including:


  • Strong economic growth: The Middle East is one of the fastest-growing economies in the world, which is leading to increased travel and tourism.


  • Increased investment in the hotel industry: There is a lot of investment happening in the Middle East hotel industry, which is leading to the development of new hotels and resorts.


  • Popularity of leisure travel: Leisure travel is becoming increasingly popular in the Middle East, as people from all over the world are drawn to the region's unique culture and history.


The hotel industry in the United States, Europe, and Asia Pacific is also expected to grow in 2023, but at a slower pace than the Middle East. This is due to a number of factors, including:


  • Slow economic growth: The global economy is expected to grow at a slower pace in 2023, which could dampen demand for travel and tourism.


  • Political uncertainty: There is a lot of political uncertainty in the world, which could also discourage travel.


  • Strength of the US dollar: The US dollar is expected to remain strong in 2023, which could make it more expensive for travelers from other countries to visit the United States.


Overall, the hotel industry is expected to thrive in all four regions in 2023. However, the Middle East is expected to see the most growth, driven by strong economic growth, increased investment in the hotel industry, and the popularity of leisure travel.
