Indian Hospitality Industry An Overview |
 |
|
 |
The hospitality industry is a key member of the service sector and is linked directly to
domestic and international tourism. According to the World Tourism Organization
(WTO), tourism has become one of the most important economic, social, cultural
and political phenomena of the twentyfirst century. Hospitality comprises a wide
range of services such as accommodations, food and beverage, events and
activities etc. With the world becoming a global village, travel for pleasure and
business has increased manifold and is expected to rise further in future making
travel and tourism as the world's largest industry. This has resulted in increased
demand for hospitality services worldwide that conform to internationally
acceptable service standards. This has resulted in great demand for skilled
manpower all over the globe. In a report on Hotels in India by HVS International in
2004, 'Assessing Trends and Opportunities', available rooms of all approved and
unapproved hotels was estimated to be close to 90,000. Taking into account an
estimated demand growth of approximately 18 per cent over the next few years,
another 65,000-80,000 rooms will need to be added, across the country, in the next
five years. This speaks volumes about the manpower requirement as well.
The history of modern hotels in India is not old. In 1903, J.R.D.Tata constructed the
Taj Mahal Hotel in Bombay. It was the first hotel of international standard and
repute, built by an Indian. About three decades later, in 1934, in the northern climes
of India, Rai Bahadur Mohan Singh Oberoi, acquired his first property, The Clarkes
Hotel, Shimla. Post independence, government realized the importance of tourism
and set up a new corporation India Tourism Development Corporation (ITDC). In
1975, ITC entered the fray with the Chola Sheraton in Chennai, and eventually
entered into a marketing alliance with Starwood, a relationship that stood rock
solid for its length, till some time back. The last decade has witnessed foray of
almost all leading international hotel chains into India. With the further increase in
projected demand of hotel rooms as India with further increase in projected demand of hotel rooms due to the Government "Incredible India Campaign", the celebrations in Indian Hospitality Industry has just begun. |
