In case you missed the latest Hilton Viewpoints webinar, highlighting the latest U.S economic and industry forecasts, you can stay informed with the webinar recording. This one-hour webinar was led by Hilton leaders who shared insight on what to expect in travel from the year ahead, including global and customer segment recovery trajectories. The conversation covered various factors and their impact on the hospitality industry: Covid-19, inflation, unemployment rates, and the current geopolitical conflicts in Ukraine.

As noted in the Hilton 2022 Trends Report, people are expected to gather and celebrate in large numbers this year. And with a focus on attendees’ mental and physical health, outdoor spaces are rising in popularity.
Hilton offers several stunning, must-book outdoor spaces that will provide guests with spectacular skylines, fresh air, and vibrant views.
In addition to these outdoor venues, hotels are bringing elements of nature indoors. These scientifically designed elements create feelings of warmth and relaxation, as well as renewed energy and focus –
all of which subconsciously increase joy, energy, and calmness. Natural light, living green walls, plants, and nature-focused artwork are a few examples of how hotels address the increasingly popular trend of connecting interior design with nature.
