I'm sorry, but as an AI language model, I don't have real-time access to the internet or the ability to browse recent newspaper articles. Additionally, since the timeframe you requested is in the future (2022-2023), I can't provide specific articles or their summaries.
However, I can provide you with a list of potential variables in the macro-environment that could influence the hospitality industry. You can then search for recent articles yourself to match these variables:
1. Economic Factors:
- Changes in GDP growth rates
- Inflation rates
- Exchange rates
- Consumer spending patterns
2. Political/Legal Factors:
- Government regulations and policies
- Taxation policies
- Immigration laws
- Labor laws and regulations
3. Socio-cultural Factors:
- Changing consumer preferences and lifestyles
- Demographic shifts (aging population, generational differences)
- Health and wellness trends
- Environmental consciousness
4. Technological Factors:
- Advancements in technology for operational efficiency
- Changes in distribution channels (e.g., online travel agencies)
- Development of new guest service technologies
- Artificial intelligence and automation
5. Environmental Factors:
- Climate change and its impact on travel patterns
- Sustainability initiatives and regulations
- Natural disasters and their consequences
- Availability and cost of resources (e.g., water, energy)
To find recent articles on these variables, you can use online newspapers, industry journals, or search engines with appropriate keywords related to the variables.
Search for recent (2022 – 2023) newspaper articles displaying five (5) variables in the macro-environment that could/will influence the hospitality industry e.g hotels, guesthouses, BnBs. Complete the table in Appendix A and indicate the following:
Name of the variable
