One thing I consistently experience when I fly to the Middle East or Asia is that many of the hotels we stay at are brand new

Especially Qatar, Dubai, Thailand, Vietnam, China, Korea etc.

Then you return to Europe or even US and they're much older and many broken down

I always wanted to see if that was just my gut or actually true, so I made this chart on Hotelist: <a href="http://hotelist.com/stats#hotel-age">hotelist.com/stats#hotel-age</a>

The median hotel build year in Middle East is 2013 and in Europe 1993! So on average (well median) hotels in Europe are 20 years older! Compared to Asia, hotels in Europe are 16 years older!

One interesting part is how consistent Oceania (mostly Australia probably) has been building hotels, no peaks, just continuous building

Another interesting point is Latin America's boom until the 2010s and then now a crash of not many new builds

And seeing Europe peak in 2000s with new hotels and then declining too

One travel hack I do is when possible booking new hotels, almost always the experience is better, everything works and breaks less

P.S. the last bar for the 2020s is extrapolated, and because hotels built are not always immediately opened, they might get added in the future so there's no actual drop in builds (I think that's the case of Oceania probably)

IT WORKS!!

I can now successfully find gyms with a REAL gym with barbells, plates, and power racks 🏋️‍♀️

No shitty hotel gyms with just a treadmill and 10kg dumbbells anymore

All thanks to AI vision models 😍
