The average length of stay for their guests has increased during the current period vis-a-vis the same time last year.
Being one of the major revenue driving segments for hotels, weddings and social gatherings have played a major role in the hotel industry’s’ revival strategies, sharing his views regarding an upsurge in the wedding business Srijith states, “We are noticing an encouraging demand for weddings. Due to the travel restrictions and closing of the international market, high-end Indian weddings which would take place overseas have shifted to the domestic market. Goa is an all-time favourite for destination weddings and The Leela Goa is the most sought after resort due to its unique location, varied venues and unmatched service standards.”
The hotel has identified new and inimitable sources to boost up the otherwise pent-up revenues of the hotel during the COVID era, “We have established ourselves in the wellness segment too, and our rejuvenation packages are increasingly gaining popularity. The breathtaking flora and fauna of the property add to the rejuvenation and relaxation experience. Besides this, our hotel is renting out its venues for photoshoot purposes (ad films, photography brochures, etc). Given the beautiful 75 acres landscape, we are the most coveted property in Goa. These are our new business verticals for revenue generation,” shares Srijith.
