India’s hospitality sector is at a turning point, experiencing an era of unprecedented expansion and transformation. Driven by robust market fundamentals, rising domestic demand, increased investments, and a growing demand for diverse experiences, the sector is evolving faster than ever. As we present this special edition of hopeful for HVS ANAROCK HOPE 2025, we do so with confidence in the sector’s ability to sustain this upward trajectory and set new benchmarks for success.
Our cover story, “The Rise and Rise of India's Hospitality Sector,” explores the dynamic forces shaping the industry’s future. From new hotel developments in emerging markets to shifts in traveler expectations and business strategies, the hospitality landscape is being redefined. Growth is no longer confined to major metropolitan hubs—India’s Tier 2, 3 and 4 cities are now at the forefront of hospitality expansion, opening new doors for investors and operators alike.
Also featured in this edition is the much-anticipated General Managers Survey – 2025 Outlook, capturing first-hand insights from industry leaders who are shaping hotel operations every day. Their perspectives provide a comprehensive view of the trends influencing guest experiences, revenue strategies, and operational efficiencies.
In Leadership Chronicles, industry leaders share their experiences of driving change, fostering innovation, and navigating the complexities of a rapidly evolving landscape. Their insights serve as a valuable resource for professionals looking to stay ahead in a competitive market.
Additionally, this edition includes HVS Insights, a series of research-driven articles from our expert team at HVS ANAROCK. Covering key industry trends, investment strategies, and best practices, these articles offer a deeper understanding of the forces shaping hospitality today and tomorrow.
