The global luxury hotel market size was valued at USD 93.59 billion in 2022 and is anticipated to expand at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 3.8% from 2023 to 2030. Emerging tourism and corporate industries across various regions, rising disposable income, increasing standard of living of people, and rise in preference for leisure travel are expected to drive the market.

The rise in purchasing power and standard of living are some of the key factors responsible for attracting customers to luxury resorts. As more money is being injected into the economy, demand for luxury accommodations for corporate events, corporate stays, and leisure trips is rising.

Hosting of sports events by a city or country has also been a major factor pushing the demand for luxury accommodations. Sports teams, as well as spectators traveling from various destinations for the tournament, tend to book their stays in luxury hotels, thus leading to a rise in the number of bookings.

Major players in the market are investing heavily in infrastructure and upgrading their properties with the latest equipment to enhance aesthetics and overall comfort offered to customers. Control4 Corporation, Crestron Electronics, Inc., and AMX LLC are some of the major companies providing automation solutions for controlling lighting, security, entertainment, energy, and other connected devices with an Internet of Things (IoT) ecosystem.

For instance, Star Hotel & Casino in Sydney offers complete guest control for their 174 luxury suites. The suites are integrated with a Control4 system that enables customers to control the television, music system, room temperature, blinds, and lights wirelessly through tablet/mobile applications. The system also incorporates light sensors that help save energy by switching lights off after 30 minutes of the room being unoccupied.

The Gateway Canyon Resort in Colorado has installed an automation system by Crestron Electronics, Inc. for controlling and monitoring electrical fittings and electronics in its rooms. Kapari, a luxury hotel in Santorini Island, has installed an automated control system by AMX LLC in each room to enable high-tech room control for their guests.

On the other hand, a constant increase in travel & tourism spending is expected to impact the luxury hotel industry positively. With the increase in disposable income, there is usually an enhancement in people's standard of living, which attracts them to luxury hotels for comfort and enriching experiences. The data substantiate that global trends are changing, and people are opting for luxury hotels and resorts for leisure and corporate meetings and activities.

The government regulations and policies on the tourism industry and tax implications on the luxury hotel market are anticipated to affect the market over the forecast period. The Albanian government has revised its tourism law by relaxing the criteria hotels must comply with to obtain a luxury hotel status. According to the revised law, a 5-star hotel with a minimum investment of USD 17.4 billion would get tax exemptions on these investments. Moreover, hotels receiving special status from the government would benefit from tax exemptions for ten years.
