Implications - The hospitality and tourism industry is constantly reinventing their look in order to capture the attention of audiences. Through transforming themselves, a hotel has the ability to market their unique qualities that set them apart from other hotels. Ideas such as cutting-edge designs or ice themes attract certain target demographics to stay there. People want to have unique experiences that they cannot achieve through staying at chain hotels, making the idea of hip hotels a great concept.
