In an ever-changing environment, how can the hospitality industry transform, adapt and build for the future of travel? A deep understanding of motivations and behaviors is crucial to predicting how consumers and corporations will view lifestyle pursuits and experiences in the years to come.

In this first edition of the Accor Travel Report series, we will reflect on insights from consumer research studies conducted to shed light on themes and near-term trends that have emerged since the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic. The research was conducted by Accor's Consumer & Market Insight team, exploring the attitudes and behaviors of leisure and
