    Tourism and Hospitality November 2010

    Rising business and leisure travel to smaller cities such as Udaipur, Thiruvananthapuram,

    Bhubaneswar, Pune, Kochi and Chandigarh, have increased demand for quality hotel rooms in these

    cities.

    Hospitality chains are expected to increase their presence in smaller cities to leverage this

    opportunity. Further, they are likely to plan a suitable project mix (more budget/business hotels

    compared to luxury hotels) for these cities.

    For instance, Carlson has announced its plans to set-up mid-segment hotels in tier II and tier III cities.

    International hospitality chains are expected to acquire local players to increase their presence in the

    country.

    For instance, in early 2010, Carlson increased its stake in RHW Hotel Management Services Ltd

    (RHW) from 13% to 87%. RHW has been managing hotels under Carlosns brands since 1998.

    Both domestic and international players are expected to form strategic alliances and partnerships

    with regional players / developers to expand in the country, reduce risk and optimise resources.

    For instance, InterContinental has tied with Amrapali Group to develop six hotels in India.

    Diversification into

    new segments

    Increasing availabilityof cost-effective bed

    & breakfast options

    Tourism and Hospitality November 2010

    Many hospitality chains that were earlier focused only on the luxury segment are now diversifying into

    new product segments, such as budget hotels and serviced apartments, in order to reduce risks.

    IHCL has already launched budget hotels in India, while Accor has announced plans to

    introduce its budget hotel brand, Formule 1, in the country.

    Moreover, hotel chains are diversifying into niche segments such as medi-cities, wildlife lodges and

    spas to establish additional revenue-generation streams. These segments also help hotel chains retain

    customers and provide them with value-added services.

    For instance, IHCL operates wildlife lodges under the brand Taj Safari , a JV between IHCL

    and &Beyond, an Africa-based safari and ecotourism company

    ITC-Welcomgroup and IHCL operate spas at some of their luxury properties.

    The Ministry of Tourism has recently simplified the guidelines and amended some norms for bed &

    breakfast units that operate in the country under the Incredible India bed & breakfast scheme in orderto encourage the growth of such establishments.

    These units offer foreign and domestic tourists clean affordable homestay facilities.
