The conference aims at bringing together academicians, corporate professionals, policy makers, practitioners and experts working in the field of tourism and hospitality industry, in order to exchange information and to discuss diverse global perspective and competitive challenges related to tourism and hospitality industry

Global hospitality & tourism have been growing tremendously over past six decades because of growing number of tourist destinations, investment in tourism, globalization, and improvement in socio economic factors. The latest figures published by UNTWO indicate earnings from International Tourism for up to 1245 US$. The number of international tourists is expected to reach 1.8 Billion in 2030. The long term forecast indicate increase in market share of emerging economies to 57% by 2030 equivalent to one billion tourist arrivals. Worldwide, the global hospitality Industry is also poised for significant growth. Ernst & Young has indicated an annual growth of 8 % in Hospitality Industry. To meet changing demands, hoteliers are seeking innovative alternatives to traditional lodging products. Several of these products initially emerged in Europe and Asia but have found their way to the US and other markets. The global hospitality, events and service industry is forecast to grow at a CAGR of 5.4% from 2015 to 2020. The major drivers of growth for this market are improvement in the global economy, rise in the consumer spending, increase in travel and tourism, and growth in the air passenger traffic. Adoption of open skies policy, increasing penetration of low cost carriers, and rising number of international tourist arrivals are additional factors contributing to accelerated growth.
