The hotel industry remains one of the biggest categories in global travel and hospitality. In 2026, the strongest way to frame the sector is through accommodation-market size, travel recovery, and hotel revenue outlook rather than relying mostly on historical hotel trivia.
Quick Answer (2026): Skift estimated the global accommodation market at about $1.2 trillion in 2024 and projected it to reach $1.3 trillion by 2026. STR’s February 2026 forecast assumptions also pointed to modest continued hotel revenue growth in 2026.
