Average daily rate of hotels in India FY 2016-2023
Community rest houses
In India, community sleeping places have been present for centuries. These rest houses are called Dharamshalas, literally meaning “a spiritual dwelling”, that provide shelter for pilgrims and travelers during their journey. Most religious establishments have dedicated areas to provide free food and a place to rest within their premises.
Established brands still popular
The hospitality industry is changing at a fast pace with the rise of entrepreneurs and their new and innovative ideas for hotel spaces. Even with tough competition from OYO and Airbnb providing unique accommodations, some traditional hotels have retained their hold on the hotel market in India. Among the various hotel companies across India, The Indian Hotels Company, a subsidiary of the Tata Group conglomerate, was the most successful hotel company based on net sales in 2019. Some successful hotel brands owned by this company are Taj, Ginger, and Vivanta.
