Tourism is a major source of foreign exchange. In recent years, India has been aggressively marketing itself as a tourist destination. There has also been a spurt of Indians travelling overseas. This simply translates into more business and thus more opportunities in the hospitality industry. New hotels are being established, existing ones are opening up new hotels or adding rooms to their existing properties. Add to that the growth in the number of budget hotels (2-star or 3-star hotels) in smaller towns all over India. All these indicate that the future of hospitality industry is encouraging.
