The Middle East has posted enormous growth in visitor arrivals during the last five years, and Israel and Egypt are the cornerstones of tourism by virtue of the volume of visitors. What is clear is that there is much room for growth with an emerging market for tourism investment, and with hospitality consulting, consultants are qualified to  develop and express sound judgment on hospitality issues such as facility design, finances, food and beverage, human resources, litigation, marketing, real estate and more.

New hotel companies to the Middle East are rushing to acquire suitable sites and management contracts, as tourism has now become one of the most dominant industries in the Middle East.  Hospitality consulting provides measurable data on hotel hospitality services as well as data on which to base marketing and performance decisions, like where a resort or hotel  can make adjustments in service and products to maximize customer satisfaction.

As the tourism sector maintains its unprecedented growth trend in both Africa and the Middle East, these countries need hospitality consulting for providing lavish amenities to customers. For example, by the end of 2015, Dubai is expecting to welcome some 10 million tourists and will have to usher in major developments.

After decades of political instability, the Middle East is benefiting with increased travel to a region with a unique abundance of natural and cultural assets.  Presently, accommodation is sufficient in terms of room numbers, but caters more to the needs of the business traveller rather than the leisure traveller. With the current trends towards nature, health, wellness and spa tourism, there is  untapped potential for small, eco-sensitive and up-market boutique nature and wellness resorts.
