India’s demand for hotels is on a constant rise while the supply is short in certain places. Krishna Mohan Alapati, MD, Southern Travels, says, “Shillong, Wayanad, and Ujjain stand out as markets where rising tourist volumes are creating a need for more quality accommodation.” He highlighted that Shillong is seeing stronger experiential and Northeast-bound travel, Wayanad continues to attract nature and leisure travellers, while Ujjain is witnessing sustained growth in spiritual tourism. “Across all three, there is considerable scope for organised, quality hotel supply to keep pace with demand,” he added.
