The hospitality sector in India is attracting a diverse range of investors, including book publishers, car dealers, and school owners, in addition to industrial groups. The increased interest is driven by the country s growing economy and high demand for hospitality services. Hotel companies are also expanding to meet the surge in demand, while standalone properties in non-metro areas are being acquired by hotel chains. Factors such as the rise of travel as a lifestyle trend, improved infrastructure, and changing social norms are contributing to the long-term growth potential of the hospitality sector in India.
