3) 3-D Printers – 3-D printers can be easily used for the purpose of creating items such as clothes, towels, toiletries and even computers in real time as needed. This will save a lot of time and increase the service availability for the guests. 

4) IoT (Internet of Things) – In the very near future of hotel sector, IoT will play a big role in changing the face of machines and things used in hotels. The TV’s, Refrigerators will be internet enabled and will be able to do tasks for you within seconds. This will be much helpful for the guests staying in the hotels.

5) Sustainability – The hotels now are turning to the Eco-friendly environment which is a good thing. But in the near future, the technology used in the hotels would be totally dependent on solar and geothermal energy. Also, promotion of non-toxic products will reduce the overall pollution in the premises.

The major problem will be the financial support. The actual amount spent on the trends in the industry is very less. Also, the mindset of people should be adaptive to the change. The industrial leaders should be open to change and adopt the foreign systems that are being incredibly beneficial for the hotel industry. 

Also, government initiative is very important in the matter as with the power of government, these new trends can be easily incorporated among the industry. And the financial help from the government as well as initiatives for more Eco-friendly hotels while improving the road transport facilities can boom the industry in no time.
