Despite the challenging period caused by the pandemic, the Indian hotel industry is showing signs of recovery and gaining momentum. According to the report, the majority of markets have surpassed 2019 levels, indicating a positive trend for the industry. In 2022, the industry experienced a critical year with unique opportunities, and domestic businesses seized the chance with 66% of hotel signings. Meanwhile, international brands signed 44% of the total keys, resulting in the opening of 10,138 keys. This exciting future is set to continue with a pipeline of 7,163 keys being added from 2023 onwards.
North India will account for 38% of all hotel signings in 2022, with Himachal Pradesh (8.6%) and Rajasthan (8.1%) leading the way. This is followed by India's Western region, which is driven mostly by Gujarat (10.4%) and Maharashtra (9.5%), as well as other states. Tier 2 cities accounted for 46% of hotel signings, with untapped destinations accounting for 33%, and Tier 1 and Tier 3 cities accounting for around 10% of hotel signings each.
The tourism industry in India is also growing strongly, with a total of 294 million passengers moving through the country's airports in 2022. Of these, 49 million were international travellers, while 245 million were domestic travellers. December recorded the highest air passenger movement, with 5 million international and 25 million domestic passengers. In contrast, January was still affected by pandemic restrictions and recorded only 2.5 million international and 13 million domestic air passengers. While there is a significant difference between the first and fourth quarters, the summer season (Q2) saw a total movement of 76 million air passengers, with Q3 receiving 73 million total air passenger movements.
