Indian Hotel Industry

The Indian hotel industry is estimated to grow at a Compounded Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of 15% over the next five years.

India ranks 18th in business travel, as per the World Travel and Tourism Council. In India, the success rate of the hotel industry is the second-highest in the world after China.

The hotel industry is set to grow by 15% every year. The demand for hotel rooms has been increased due to the boom of information technology, telecom, retail, and real estate. The country’s increasing stock market and new business opportunities are attracting foreign investors. Hence, there is a tremendous scope of growth for hotel brands in the country.

Trends Shaping The Hotel Industry

Whether it is a great experience, design, comfort, technology or value add, trends in the hotel industry keep changing and evolving fast. With the entry of many home furnishing brands in the hotel sector and famous designers now designing for hotels, designing is also one of the fast trends in the sector. Design truly defines hotel persons and a complete way to care for your guests.

The hospitality industry is making considerable efforts to embrace technology across domains. This is important to remain profitable and be able to service the evolving demands of patrons. Effective management of space has become a focus area.

Another area that is trending in the hospitality sector is ‘partnerships’ between luxury brands and hospitality destinations.
