*2025 Domestic hotel industry trends*
In the hotel industry in 2025, it is expected that it will be essential to deal with the continued increase in the number of overseas visitors to Japan and the serious shortage of personnel in 2024. In addition, prices are rising due to the expansion of inbound demand, and the importance of optimizing prices according to demand is emphasized.
In terms of inbound tourists, the number of passengers in the Asia-Pacific region is predicted to reach nearly 3.9 billion by the end of 2025 (*1), and Japan is poised to receive even more passengers as it prepares for major events such as the Osaka World Expo and World Athletics Championships. will need to be strengthened. However, imbalances in the destinations visited by inbound tourists and misunderstandings due to language differences have become major problems, and measures to counter overtourism and strengthen multilingual support are likely to be promoted.
From the perspective of labor shortages, the labor shortage, which had temporarily subsided due to the coronavirus pandemic, has once again become noticeable due to the rapid increase in demand, mainly from inbound tourists. For this reason, it is expected that operational efficiency will accelerate through the use of revenue management systems that automate the process of setting room prices and simultaneously improve profits, as well as robots that perform cleaning and serving meals.
Delegating tasks that can be made more efficient to AI and systems and allowing staff to spend more time with guests will lead to improved customer satisfaction. By understanding the strengths of both people and systems and using them properly, I think we can realize facility management that is comfortable for both parties.

* Added new category *
In “Hotel Industry Map 2025”, we have added the following two new categories. ■Inbound media
The ease of selecting tourist destinations and gathering local tourism information can be an important factor for foreign tourists visiting Japan. By increasing the resolution of Japan through the media, it is thought that it will be easier to connect with accommodation beyond sightseeing. For this reason, we have selected inbound media that supports multiple languages, with a focus on Asia, where the number of overseas visitors to Japan is particularly high.
■Smart operation system
While increasing travel demand is an opportunity for the hotel market, the industry is facing a growing talent shortage. Therefore, we included a smart operation system in our selection that allows us to maintain the same operations as before, while reducing the burden and effort on staff, even with limited personnel. By utilizing these systems, we will be able to collect customer data during their stay that could not be fully analyzed due to manual management, which will be useful for further operational improvements.
