Toh kiska kitna paisa laga?
Sabse pehle toh bade institutions aur private equity (PE) firms ne contribute kiya, jinka hissa raha 35%. Uske baad high-net-worth individuals (HNIs), family offices aur hotel ke owners ne milkar 27% diya. Aur listed hotel companies ne bhi 25% paisa lagaya. Ek expert, Gaurav Sharma, kehte hain ki market ab kaafi mature ho raha hai aur log ab individual hotels khareedne ke bajaye bade platform-level investments aur strategic partnerships kar rahe hain.
Aur ek mast trend yeh hai ki sabka dhyan ab chote shehron pe ja raha hai! Rishikesh, Ludhiana, Nashik, Vadodara, Udaipur, Lonavala jaise Tier II aur III cities mein investors kaafi interest dikha rahe hain. Achhi infrastructure, deshi travel ka badhna aur branded hotel chains ka expansion, yeh sab milkar in jaghon ko future ke liye ekdum perfect bana rahe hain hospitality investments ke liye.
Ab baat karte hain ki log kya khareed rahe hain. Investors ne operational aur income-generating hotel assets ko zyada prefer kiya, jo total deals ka 69% raha. Luxury hotels (42%) aur upscale hotels (41%) mein sabse zyada interest dikha. India ka branded hotel development pipeline bhi kaafi expand hua hai, naye hotel signings 23% badh kar 51,647 rooms tak pahunch gaye. Ismein se bhi 71% bookings Tier II aur III cities mein hui hain! Aur hotel operators bhi ab asset-light model use kar rahe hain, management contracts 84% tak badh gaye hain.
Yeh tezi abhi bhi jaari hai. 2026 ke pehle quarter mein hi deals 58% badh kar $185 Million tak pahunch gaye. Ek bada deal Warburg Pincus ne kiya jismein unhone Fleur Hotels ka 41% stake lagbhag $107 Million mein khareeda. Listed hotel companies mein strong liquidity aur government ki tourism initiatives aage bhi isko support karengi. Airports ke paas ki land monetize karne ke bhi mauke ban rahe hain. Haan, Duniya mein thoda uncertainty hai, par India mein domestic travel ki demand itni mazboot hai ki global risks se zyada fark nahi padega. Bas ek cheez hai ki achhe hotel assets milne mein thodi kami ho sakti hai, jis se prices toh badhengi par deals kam ho sakte hain.
