a trip where warm weather and relaxation are the main attractions. Expedia internal data confirms January is one of the top months for researching and booking beach vacations, which is a favourite trip type for nothing-cationers. On average, about a quarter of getaways planned during the first month of the year is to beach destinations, and many hotspots including Cancun, Riviera Maya, Punta Cana and Oahu are already seeing double-digit increases in demand compared to the same time in 2019.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.hotelnewsresource.com\/article124316.html\"><span data-contrast=\"none\">https:\/\/www.hotelnewsresource.com\/article124316.html<\/span><\/a><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559685&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Top Tech &amp; Travel Trends that will shape the tourism industry in 2023<\/span><\/b><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134233117&quot;:false,&quot;134233118&quot;:false,&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335551550&quot;:1,&quot;335551620&quot;:1,&quot;335559685&quot;:0,&quot;335559737&quot;:0,&quot;335559738&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">2022 was something of a rollercoaster for the hotel industry. While travel demand surged from its pandemic lows, hoteliers faced new challenges such as persistent labour shortages, and new ways of interacting with technology and their guests. According to a survey by Bankrate, rising prices caused 79% of U.S. travellers to alter their travel plans during the 2022 holiday season, with many travellers opting to travel fewer days, enjoy less expensive activities and cheaper accommodations, or travel shorter distances.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.hospitalitynet.org\/opinion\/4114401.html\"><span data-contrast=\"none\">https:\/\/www.hospitalitynet.org\/opinion\/4114401.html<\/span><\/a><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559685&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b><span data-contrast=\"none\">Metaverse: Shaping the future of the tourism industry <\/span><\/b><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">Definitions of the metaverse differ, but a commonly held view is that a true metaverse \u2013 one that\u2019s perhaps decentralized, ungoverned, universal and in which anyone can interact with anyone \u2013 is probably still years away. Hotel company Leven purchased its first property in the metaverse using virtual currency and unveiled it last year. Designed by an architect, the virtual hotel is \u201crich and organic. It doesn\u2019t have any hard edges. It\u2019s a very curved, almost seductive building\u201d that incorporates nature and botanicals into its design, according to Griffin.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134233117&quot;:false,&quot;134233118&quot;:false,&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335551550&quot;:1,&quot;335551620&quot;:1,&quot;335559685&quot;:0,&quot;335559737&quot;:0,&quot;335559738&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.phocuswire.com\/travel-companies-explore-metaverse-eye-on-future?utm_source=eNL&amp;utm_medium=email&amp;utm_campaign=Daily&amp;oly_enc_id=8708C2425878B0C\"><span data-contrast=\"none\">https:\/\/shorturl.at\/bgsw0<\/span><\/a><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134233117&quot;:false,&quot;134233118&quot;:false,&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335551550&quot;:1,&quot;335551620&quot;:1,&quot;335559685&quot;:0,&quot;335559737&quot;:0,&quot;335559738&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Fortune Hotels expands its step in Siliguri<\/span><\/b><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134233117&quot;:false,&quot;134233118&quot;:false,&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335551550&quot;:1,&quot;335551620&quot;:1,&quot;335559685&quot;:0,&quot;335559737&quot;:0,&quot;335559738&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">Fortune Hotels, a member of ITC\u2019s hotel group announced the signing of a new property in Siliguri, West Bengal.
