Vikram Cotah, CEO, GRT Hotels & Resorts

Top 10 Leaders in Hospitality - 2022
India has been always one of the favourite destinations for tourists all over the world. Tourism is one of the major sources of foreign exchange for our country, and India is showing continuous growth in the sector. The industry accounted for 7.5 percent of the GDP. Tourism sector in India accounts for 39 million jobs, which accounts for eight percent of total employment in the country. The Government of India (GoI) has selected Chennai, Goa, Kochi, Mangalore, and Mumbai ports to develop them as cruise tourism hubs.
The tourism industry in India is growing not only because of the foreign travellers. Young millennials in India are eager to explore the vast terrains and culture in different parts of the country. The rising middle class and growing disposable income has caused the growth of a culture of domestic and outbound tourism. The passion of youth in exploring unseen faces of the country has encouraged many young engineers and businessmen to come up with digital tools for planning, booking and experiencing journey.
Today, India is one among most digitally advanced traveller nations in the world.
By 2028, Indian tourism and hospitality is expected to earn $50.9 billion in visitor exports compared with $28.9 billion in 2018. The Indian airline travel market was estimated at $20 billion and is projected to double in size by FY27 due to improving airport infrastructure and growing access to passports. Understanding the opportunity, international hotel chains are increasing their presence in the country.
