The year 2022 painted a mixed picture for the global hospitality sector. It was the year that travel finally made a comeback after a majority of countries lifted their travel restrictions and most people resumed their pre-pandemic way of life. As a result, travel demand increased significantly across the globe with people trying to make up for the lost time. However, inflation, the Russia-Ukraine war, and the “great resignation” negatively impacted the hospitality business in a few countries. The Indian hospitality sector also witnessed similar trends during the year but was more resilient than some of its global counterparts.
In 2022, India’s outbound travel market made an above-average recovery, for the first time generating Asia’s highest outbound travel volume, with foreign trips exceeding those of China, South Korea and Japan. Compared with pre-pandemic figures they reached slightly more than half of the travel volume achieved in 2019. With people keen to travel in 2023, the stage is set for a further recovery this year.
Driven by the strong recovery in demand, hotel companies accelerated their growth plans in 2022, resulting in an over 33% rise in brand signings by keys compared to the previous year. During the year, 166 new hotels with 14,885 rooms were signed, while 90 hotels with 5,702 rooms were rebranded.
