Resorts Global Market Report 2026

Resorts refer to hospitality establishments that offer combined lodging and recreational services within a single, self-contained setting. These facilities integrate accommodation with planned leisure, wellness, and entertainment options, allowing guests to access multiple amenities in one place. They are designed to support both short and long stays centered on relaxation, recreation, and experiential tourism.

The essential types of resorts include beach resorts, mountain resorts, wellness resorts, spa resorts, eco resorts, family resorts, destination resorts, and luxury resorts. Beach resorts refer to hospitality properties situated along coastal regions that provide scenic ocean views, recreational facilities, and leisure-oriented services designed to offer relaxation and entertainment for travelers seeking seaside experiences. Accommodation types include room bookings, suite stays, villa rentals, and bungalows or overwater villas, while booking channels consist of online travel agencies, direct resort websites, offline travel agents, and corporate bookings. These resorts are categorized by price range into luxury, upper mid-scale, mid-scale, and budget segments, and they cater to customer groups such as leisure travelers, business travelers, group travelers, couples and honeymoon travelers, and family travelers.

Tariffs are influencing the resorts market by increasing expenses for imported construction materials, high-end furnishings, food and beverage supplies, and technological systems used in resort operations. Luxury and destination resorts are the most impacted because they depend heavily on premium imported goods and services. Areas that rely on international tourism and imported inputs, such as island and coastal regions, are experiencing higher operational expenses. Prices for accommodation and services may increase, which can affect overall demand. However, tariffs are also promoting the use of locally sourced materials and products, strengthening regional supply networks and encouraging more authentic, locally rooted hospitality experiences.

The resorts market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $383.21 billion in 2025 to $410.94 billion in 2026 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.2%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to growth in global tourism and leisure travel demand, expansion of coastal and hill station resort developments, rising disposable income and middle-class travel spending, development of hospitality infrastructure in emerging economies, increasing popularity of package holiday and all-inclusive stays.

The resorts market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $548.22 billion by 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.5%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to rising demand for experience-based and immersive travel, expansion of sustainable and low-impact resort infrastructure, increasing preference for wellness and mental health focused tourism, growth of smart resorts with digital guest service integration, rising adoption of luxury and hyper-personalized travel experiences. Major trends in the forecast period include rise in all-inclusive experiential travel offerings, increasing demand for wellness and holistic retreat experiences, growth of eco-friendly and nature-integrated resort developments, expansion of personalized guest service and curated hospitality experiences, rising preference for multi-activity destination resort complexes.

The rising demand for international tourism is expected to drive the growth of the resorts market in the coming years. International tourism refers to the movement of individuals across national borders to visit countries other than their own for purposes such as leisure, business, education, or other activities, typically for a limited period without engaging in permanent employment in the destination country. The growth in international tourism demand is driven by the expansion of affordable air travel networks and the increasing availability of low-cost international flights, making cross-border travel more accessible to a wider population. Resorts support international tourism by providing integrated accommodation, leisure, wellness, and recreational services that enhance the overall travel experience and attract long-stay international visitors seeking premium hospitality experiences. For instance, in January 2025, according to the United Nations World Tourism Organization, a Spain-based international tourism authority, global international tourist arrivals reached approximately 1.4 billion in 2024, marking an 11% increase compared to 2023, indicating strong global travel recovery and growing cross-border tourism demand. Therefore, the rising international tourism demand is driving the growth of the resorts market.

This platform enables users to search and book resorts using conversational AI, receive personalized recommendations, and access loyalty benefits such as ALL Accor points and member-only pricing, while supporting secure payments and real-time reservation management.
