The US government first established Real Estate Investment Trusts (REITs) in the 1960s, allowing retail investors access to the nation's vast portfolio of income-producing real estate assets.

The first hospitality REIT (or lodging REIT) was introduced in the US in 1970, but this asset class didn't start to gain popularity until the mid-1990s when investors realized they could own and profit from lucrative hotel assets without having to spend a significant sum of money to acquire the asset.

The Indian hospitality sector is expected to see accelerated growth in 2023, in spite of ongoing global headwinds and the uncertainty brought on by the occasional COVID-scare. This will be driven primarily by buoyant domestic demand, the gradual revival of inbound travel, and the Indian government’s renewed emphasis on the expansion of the tourism industry, which is expected to contribute US$250 billion to the country’s GDP by 2030. The government also intends to release the National Tourism Policy soon to promote sustainable and inclusive tourism growth in the country. The hotel sector should develop strategies to take advantage of the short- and long-term opportunities that are emerging as the Indian tourism industry gains momentum.

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 several countries. The Indian hospitality sector also witnessed similar trends during the year but was more resilient than its global counterparts.
