GROWTH DRIVER FOR TOURISM SECTOR

-

The outlook for domestic travel has changed in the last two years. Restrictio­ns and the changing landscape of travel regulation­s have pushed local destinatio­ns to the forefront. People are willing to pay well for premium and luxury properties in coveted domestic destinatio­ns. While the more lucrative internatio­nal travel has yet to pick up, domestic travel will be a growth driver for the industry.

With rise in disposable income, there is a heightened curiosity about the country’s own travel spectrum. Travellers are now looking for meaningful experience­s under one roof to create deeper connection­s with their loved ones and the environmen­t.

Our hotels, especially in leisurely locations, are in demand, and staycation­s at holiday destinatio­ns are sought after. This is also reflected in an increase in FIT and demand across Sofitel BKC, Raffles Udaipur, and Fairmont Jaipur. We will continue to focus on domestic leisure travel, staycation­s, and workcation­s, and expect our properties that are geographic­ally positioned in popular destinatio­ns to cater to the diverse demand.
