Why It Matters
This archive is the evidence annex to the 2027 AI × Global Hospitality & Tourism Whitepaper. It demonstrates a working methodology: publish falsifiable forecasts, in writing, with dates — then grade them against official statistics. For operators and investors exposed to Gulf hospitality, the recommendations remain: downward repositioning, asset securitisation, functional repurposing, and precisely calibrated cultural-policy experiments.
