The hotel business in India is growing at a rapid rate. With over 90,000 new rooms expected over the next five years, India’s tourism industry is peaking at the right time. Because of conservative investments during the world’s economy struggles, India is now able to focus on building a tourism industry that will rival some of the world’s “hot spots,” and this begins with accommodations that meet any budget or sense of adventure.

Accommodations in India range from your most luxurious five star deluxe hotels, to the cheapest of motels. However, India is most well known for their “middle of the road” hotels that offer traditional amenities coupled with incredible food choices. Currently, there is not a “standard of operation” when it comes to prices, check-in/out policies, etc. between hotels or motels. A very individualized business, the budget hotels generally raise prices frequently, based on demand. Because of this, bargaining and negotiations are very common. Nonetheless, the hotel industry added 6.1 per cent to the country’s GDP in 2008-2009.

Over the next 10 years, India is expected to reach the top 5 business travel destinations with an expected growth of over 7 percent per year. This is due in part to the fact that hotel and motel owners/operators have put a great deal of effort and focus on proper management and service for guests. Raving reviews of the quality of service and pleasant nature of staff have India’s hotels and motels peaking at the right time.
