The hospitality and business events sectors are undergoing structural and technological transformations. Initially, trends showed a shift toward regional venues and specialized architecture, such as the use of biophilic design in Brazil’s Camboriú region to meet rising corporate demand. In Europe, modular interior design was introduced to allow urban hotels to dynamically reconfigure meeting spaces into leisure areas.

Following these infrastructure shifts, the industry has moved toward digital integration. In Brazil, the focus has expanded to include artificial intelligence, automation, and advanced data analytics. Industry discussions are increasingly centered on using AI and CRM systems to transition from simple data collection to strategic revenue management, specifically focusing on profitability metrics to maintain margins during periods of slowing occupancy.
