The second sector of interest is hotels, which has ample room for growth after emerging from a decade-long downtrend. Similarly, the real estate sector, which witnessed a prolonged downturn from 2008-09 until recently, is now showing signs of a more enduring uptrend. ” What is the outlook when it comes to the IT space?
