India's Hospitality Sector Expands Beyond Metros Amid Supply and Service Challenges
India's hospitality sector is experiencing significant growth beyond major cities, with a surge in hotel room supply in smaller cities like Tirupati, Varanasi, and Lucknow. While premium hotels are expected to drive 67% of real estate demand by 2035, concerns arise over oversupply in pilgrimage and leisure destinations. Meanwhile, the alternative accommodation market is expanding but faces challenges such as inconsistent service standards and limited online visibility, with technology and professionalisation seen as key to future growth.
