Love, Meetings, and Travel: The Unlikely Heroes of India's Hospitality Growth

India's hospitality industry is witnessing strong growth, fueled by a boom in tourism, weddings, and MICE activities. Indian Hotels and Lemon Tree are favorites, with stocks appreciating sharply on the back of high demand. The industry is helped by higher travel and tourism initiatives, such as government proposals to upgrade tourist destinations and medical tourism. Weddings play a large role in filling hotel coffers, with destination and customized weddings gaining popularity. This trajectory of growth is likely to sustain itself, thanks to favorable demand-supply equations as well as growing average room rates.
