The Indian tourism and hospitality industry has emerged as one of the key
drivers of growth among the services sector in India. The third-largest
sub-segment of the services sector comprising trade, repair services, hotels
and restaurants contributed nearly US$ 187.9 billion or 12.5 per cent to the
Gross Domestic Product (GDP) in 2014-15, while growing the fastest at 11.7 per
cent Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) over the period 2011-12 to 2014-15.
Tourism in India has significant potential considering the rich cultural and
historical heritage, variety in ecology, terrains and places of natural beauty
spread across the country. Tourism is also a potentially large employment
generator besides being a significant source of foreign exchange for the
country.
Hotels and other accommodations are as diverse as the many family and
business travelers they accommodate. The industry includes all types of
lodging, from upscale hotels to RV parks. Motels, resorts, casino hotels,
bed-and-breakfast inns, and boarding houses also are included. In fact, in 2004
nearly 62,000 establishments provided overnight accommodations to suit many
different needs and budgets.
Establishments vary greatly in size and in the services they provide. Hotels
and motels comprise the majority of establishments and tend to provide
more services than other lodging places. There are five basic types of hotels—commercial,
resort, residential, extended-stay, and casino. Most
hotels and motels are commercial properties that cater mainly to
business people, tourists, and other travelers who need accommodations for a
brief stay. Commercial hotels and motels usually are located in cities or
suburban areas and operate year round. Larger properties offer a variety of
services for their guests, including a range of restaurant and beverage service
options—from coffee bars and lunch counters to cocktail lounges and formal
fine-dining restaurants. Some properties provide a variety of retail shops on
the premises, such as gift boutiques, newsstands, drug and cosmetics counters,
and barber and beauty shops. An increasing number of full-service hotels now
offer guests access to laundry and valet services, swimming pools, and fitness
centers or health spas. A small, but growing, number of luxury hotel chains
also manage condominium units in combination with their transient rooms,
providing both hotel guests and condominium owners with access to the same
services and amenities.Search Hotel at
