India's Hospitality Industry in 2026: Hotels, Resorts, and Buyer's Data Guide

India's hospitality sector — hotels, resorts, serviced apartments, tour operators, and inbound tourism — has recovered past its pre-COVID peak with FY2025 revenue crossing ₹2.4 lakh crore. Corporate chains — Indian Hotels Company (Taj, Vivanta, Ginger, SeleQtions), ITC Hotels (Welcomhotel, ITC Grand), Oberoi Hotels, Marriott India, Radisson Hotel Group, Hyatt, IHG, Accor, Hilton — anchor branded room supply.

For B2B teams — hotel booking SaaS, PMS platforms, F&B suppliers, laundry service partners, corporate travel agencies, and specialty-tourism operators — the discovery challenge is mapping branded hotels + independent properties + destination tour operators against actual room-night demand. Our India hospitality directory consolidates this.
