This report investigates the impact that emerging markets will have on the hospitality industry, covering ten countries in detail.
Emerging markets are changing the face of the hospitality industry, not only in terms of new places to visit and develop hotels, but also as potential source markets of new guests. It is not only countries such as Brazil, Russia, India and China (the BRICs) that are set to bring about changes but also many other major but until now largely ignored countries.

With GDPs forecast to grow at a rate above that of their Western counterparts, the emerging markets are set to see changes for their people, not least in lifting many out of poverty and into the realms of the middle class.
