HD Expo + Conference 2023 Recap
The Tomu design team hit Las Vegas to check out the latest in hospitality building and design products and hear what industry leaders are predicting for the future
The HD Expo + Conference 2023, the largest hospitality design and construction show in North America, took place last week in Las Vegas, and it was an exciting event for anyone interested in innovation, sustainability, and travel preferences. For Tomu, a company that specializes in the design and production of pre-designed modular units, this was an opportunity to continually improve how Tomu plays into the changing trends in the hospitality industry.
Innovation
Innovation was a hot topic at the conference, and one of the most significant trends was the use of technology to enhance the guest experience. For example, many hotels are now using mobile apps to allow guests to check-in, access their rooms, and even order room service. Another trend was the use of prefabrication, which can reduce development time and costs, while also offering more flexibility in design.
Tomu is at the forefront of innovation in the hospitality industry, offering modular building systems that can be customized to fit a hotel's aesthetic needs, reducing development time by 20%-50% and saving on costs. By using modular systems, Tomu is able to offer more flexibility in design and reduce waste in the construction process. Additionally, the company is exploring the use of technology to enhance the guest experience, with plans to integrate smart home technology into their units in the near future.
Sustainability
Sustainability was also a major theme at the conference, with many speakers highlighting the importance of eco-friendly design and construction. One trend was the use of renewable energy sources, such as solar and wind power, to reduce a building's carbon footprint. Another trend was the use of recycled and locally-sourced materials, which can reduce waste and support local economies.
Sustainability is a core value at Tomu, and the company is committed to eco-friendly design and construction. By using renewable energy sources and recycled and locally-sourced materials, Tomu is able to reduce the carbon footprint of their buildings and support local economies. Additionally, their modular building systems reduce waste in the construction process, further contributing to sustainability efforts.
Travel Preferences
The conference also shed light on changing travel preferences among consumers. There is a growing demand for experiential travel, where travelers seek out unique and authentic experiences rather than traditional tourist destinations. There continues to be a desire for wellness and mindfulness, with more hotels offering yoga classes, meditation rooms, and healthier/ vegan dining options. More than ever, sustainability is becoming an important consideration for travelers, with many seeking out eco-friendly accommodations and activities.
Tomu understands the changing travel preferences of consumers, and their designs reflect these trends. The Villa Collection offers a unique and authentic experience for travelers, with cutting-edge designs that blend luxury and sustainability. The company is also exploring the use of wellness and mindfulness in their designs, with plans to incorporate yoga studios and meditation spaces into their units. Finally, sustainability is a key consideration for Tomu, with eco-friendly design and construction at the core of their business model.
In conclusion, the HD Expo + Conference 2023 provided valuable insights into trends in innovation, sustainability, and travel preferences in the hospitality industry. For Tomu, a company that specializes in innovative, sustainable, and cutting-edge designs, these trends are central to their business model. By staying up-to-date on these trends and incorporating them into their designs, Tomu is well-positioned to take advantage of the changing hospitality landscape and offer their clients the best possible experience.
