This has led to innovations in all spheres of business practices. Hospitality industry is one such industry where innovations have led to a complete change in the offerings, all across the value chain. This industry is so important that it has also become the fancy of more international players than ever before. The changes have swept metropolitans as well as regional urban centers.
