Stay tuned!

In this blog, we will be sharing the information you need to know about this rapidly growing industry and how Iihm will help you to get success in Hospitality Sector.

In Q2 (April to June) 2022, the Indian hospitality industry experienced significant growth, which was mostly fueled by demand for weddings and other special occasions as well as a remarkable turnaround in business travel. In Q2 2021, the nation was dealing with the second wave of the pandemic, which had a big effect on how well the hospitality industry performed. As a result, Revenue Per Available Room (RevPAR) increased exponentially in Q2 2022 over Q2 2021 by 339.3% year-over-year (YoY). According to JLL’s Hotel Momentum India (HMI) Q2, 2022, the industry also had a remarkable 44.6% gain in RevPAR at a pan-Indian level compared to Q1 2022, when the industry was still recovering from the third wave of the pandemic.

Meetings, incentives, conferences, exhibitions (MICE), weddings, and business travel were the main drivers of the sector’s demand during Q2 2022. Additionally, corporate off-sites, team meetings, training, and soon all contributed to a revival in the market for MICE in the business sector.

Domestic leisure remained a significant market at this time, fueled by travelers’ pent-up demand after going without a summer vacation for the previous two years.
On the strength of domestic leisure during long weekends and festivals, the upcoming two quarters are anticipated to stay active. Business travel will keep expanding and be the key demand generator for the industry. While demand for social events like weddings will remain a key driver. With numerous business meetings and large format conferences scheduled, MICE demand is anticipated to increase in the upcoming months.

In total, 47 hotels with 4,010 keys were signed in the second quarter of 2022. Compared to Q22021, there was a substantial increase in hotel signings of 90.9%. In terms of inventory volume, domestic operators outnumbered foreign operators 52:48 in signings.

Due to the low base seen during the second wave of the pandemic last year and the spectacular performance of the sector this year, all six main markets experienced an exponential rise in RevPAR levels in Q2 2022 as compared to Q2 2021.Bengaluru, with a growth of 660.1% over Q2 2021, took the lead in RevPAR increase in Q2 2022, followed by Hyderabad and Goa with y-o-y growths of 564.5% and 326%, respectively.

The second quarter of 2022 will see a resurgence in investor interest and shareholder profitability in the hotel industry thanks to exponential growth across all performance parameters in both business and leisure destinations. Summer vacations gave the overall demand, which continued to increase together with business travel and corporate off-sites, a further boost, reviving trust in the industry. According to Jaideep Dang, Managing Director, Hotels & Hospitality Group, South Asia, JLL, “We expect this momentum to continue over the next few quarters on the basis of long weekends, festivals, weddings, events, and business travel equally contributing to this growth story.”
