Overview

Although hotels and inns have worked on a variety of initiatives such as event planning, interior decoration, meals, and supplementary functions and services’ enhancement, many of them have been within the range of traditional lodging business models. Furthermore, the spread of hotel review and search site has sped up the homogenization of hotels and inns, and differentiation is increasingly becoming difficult.

Meanwhile, in recent years, people's needs and behavior patterns have changed greatly due to the shift of value from goods to experiences, mobile and SNS penetration, which has influenced the lodging experience. What will people’s lodging experience be like in the future? In this theme, we will grasp changes in expectations for hotels and inns based on the trends around the industry, how to connect them to new services, and identify innovation opportunities for hotels and inn business by designing the future Kyoto stay.
