Market Overview

Travel refers to the movement of people with or without things from one place to another. Although modern-age travel is far more convenient, the process of people moving from one designated place to another has been in existence for ages. Travel is the only way people can move across geographical locations with the help of available resources. As technology and knowledge grew, modes of transport were invented which made the entire movement easier and allowed people to travel to distant locations.

Currently, traveling can be done on foot or using automobile vehicles like ships, airplanes, trains, buses, and boats to name a few. It can be moving across a short distance or a long distance depending on the proximity of the two locations.

Restraints

• Growing inflation to restrict market expansion

The global market may witness heavy losses in underdeveloped economies that are already suffering from poverty and other natural calamities regularly.

Opportunities

• Growing number of eco-friendly travel accommodations to provide growth opportunities

To tackle this concern there is a growing number of travel accommodations that allow guests to experience sustainable ways of living by sharing rooms with other travelers. This trend can be specially observed in younger generations who opt for smaller apartments or larger units that can be shared with others.

Challenges
