Indian hospitality and tourism industry outlook

 
India’s hospitality and tourism industry continues on a strong growth path, supported by rising travel demand, increasing domestic consumption, and sustained investment in infrastructure and services. Valued at over $24 billion in calendar year (CY) 2024, the hospitality sector is expected to grow to $31 billion by CY 2029.
 
The tourism sector is also gaining traction, with revenues projected to exceed $59 billion by CY 2028. Key drivers include growth in domestic travel, improvement in foreign tourist arrivals, and demand from corporate and event based tourism. The Union Budget 2025-26 has allocated ₹2,541.06 crore for tourism development, focusing on infrastructure, skill-building, and facilitation. A major initiative includes developing 50 tourist destinations in collaboration with states, aimed at improving visitor experience and connectivity, Samhi Hotels said in its FY25 annual report.
 
India remains a strong magnet for domestic and global travelers. Hotels and resorts are seeing improved occupancy, driven by consistent demand and limited new supply. The rise in branded room inventory, aided by increased travel activity and government initiatives, is expected to drive performance in the near to medium term, the company said.
 
Meanwhile, the hotel sector outlook for Q2FY26 remains positive, supported by a lineup of events and seasonal demand drivers across India. A cluster of long weekends in August (Raksha Bandhan, Independence Day, Janmashtami, and Ganesh Chaturthi) is likely to support leisure travel across leisure destinations, according to analysts.  ALSO READ | Mastek shares soar 9% as Q1 profit jumps 29%; Earnings breakdown here 
Key events include: 1) Indian International Jewellery Show (IIJS) Premiere at Mumbai (30 July-4 August) is expected to bolster business city room rates, and 2) the Onam festival (5 September), which should lift demand in Kerala. Hence, the brokerage firm expects double-digit growth in RevPAR (Revenue per Available Room) for Q2, driven by ARR (Average Room Rate).
