The resort planning market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $280.71 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.3%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to rise in luxury and wellness tourism, emergence of eco-tourism, focus on unique experiences, digital marketing and online booking trends, crisis recovery and resilience. Major trends in the forecast period include cultural immersion and local community engagement, luxury sustainability and eco-lodges, adoption of smart environmental design, holistic event and wedding facilities, wellness retreats and specialty programs.
The rise in global tourism is projected to drive the growth of the resort planning market. Tourism is a social, cultural, and economic activity that involves individuals traveling to countries or locations outside their usual environment for personal or professional purposes. Over the past decade, there has been substantial growth in tourism worldwide due to factors such as increased disposable income, improved access to various destinations, and a desire for exploration. This surge in global tourism will create a significant demand for the development of sophisticated yet sustainable resorts, thereby boosting the need for resort planning, which enhances the tourism experience by providing luxurious accommodations. For instance, in September 2024, the United Nations World Tourism Organization (UNWTO) reported that around 790 million tourists traveled abroad in the first seven months of 2024, marking an 11% increase compared to 2023. Therefore, the rise in global tourism is anticipated to increase demand for resort planning services throughout the forecast period.
An increase in disposable income is expected to further drive the growth of the resort planning market in the future. Disposable income refers to the total income that households and individuals have available for spending and saving after taxes are deducted. It plays a vital role in the resort planning market, as higher disposable income levels directly impact individuals' expenditures on leisure and travel, thereby increasing demand for well-designed, upscale resorts that provide premium amenities and experiences. For example, in August 2023, the Bureau of Economic Analysis, a U.S. government agency, reported that personal income rose by $60 billion (0.3% on a monthly basis) in December 2023. Consequently, the increase in disposable income is fueling the growth of the resort planning market.

Leading companies within this sector are increasingly focusing on collaborations to create new opportunities in the planning and development of advanced resorts by leveraging each other’s expertise, resources, and technologies. These strategic partnerships will also enable companies to strengthen their market positions and expand into new territories. For example, in July 2024, Marriott International, a U.S.-based hospitality company, joined forces with Eagle Hills, a private real estate investment and development firm based in the UAE. This collaboration aims to introduce the Ritz-Carlton Reserve on Ramhan Island, representing a major enhancement to luxury hospitality in the Arabian Gulf. The partnership is designed to establish an exclusive resort that prioritizes wellness and sustainability. Eagle Hills is a private real estate investment and development company headquartered in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates.
A noteworthy trend among major companies in the resort planning market is the introduction of new hospitality brands to maximize revenue. The Palette brand, launched by OYO Hotels & Homes in July 2023, exemplifies this approach. Palette focuses on boutique hotels that offer unique, design-centric accommodations, providing personalized experiences for travelers seeking distinctive and stylish stays. OYO's expansion into premium resorts and hotels through the Palette brand underscores the industry's commitment to catering to diverse traveler preferences.
