How new business models are driving the modern hospitality industry (Infographic)

There’s really no concrete way of determining how old the hospitality industry is, given that it’s more about the idea of providing weary travelers with food, shelter, and safety. A paper published in the International Journal of Contemporary Hospitality speculated that commercial hospitality originated as early as 1800 B.C. in ancient Mesopotamia – although based on circumstantial evidence such as laws governing tavern keepers.

It’s been a long time since the heyday of Mesopotamia, and over the past century – especially in recent decades – there have been huge shifts in how hospitality businesses operate and serve consumers, with the emergence of huge hotel chains and digitalization.

With each new generation, younger firms have looked to disrupt the business models of older companies to place themselves at the forefront of the industry. Let’s take a look at how these developments have played out in the hospitality sector and what lies ahead.
