IHCL ke CEO Puneet Chhatwal ne tourism sector ko lekar bada vision rakha hai. Unka manna hai ki **$3 Trillion** ke goal tak pahunchne ke liye India ko **20 lakh** branded hotel rooms ki zaroorat hai.
India ke tourism sector ka naya roadmap
IHCL ke MD aur CEO Puneet Chhatwal ne bataya hai ki India ka tourism sector abhi $250 Billion ka hai, jo 2047 tak badhkar $3 Trillion tak ja sakta hai. Is bade target ko hit karne ke liye zaroori hai ki country mein branded hotel rooms ka supply massive taur par badhaya jaye.
Kya hai investors ke liye challenge?
Itne bade expansion ke liye lagbhag ₹1 Lakh Crore ka investment lagega. Hospitality sector kaafi capital-intensive hota hai, jahan borrowing costs zyada hone se companies ke balance sheet par pressure aa sakta hai. Isliye, jo companies asset-light model follow kar rahi hain (jaise IHCL, Lemon Tree Hotels, aur Chalet Hotels), woh debt ko control mein rakhne ke liye behtar position mein hain.
Bottlenecks aur Future Growth
Sirf kamre banana kaafi nahi hai. CEO ne points uthaye hain ki:
- Connectivity: Tourist spots tak last-mile connectivity abhi bhi ek struggle hai.
- Policy: Government se ek unified policy framework ki demand hai taaki approvals jaldi mil sakein.
Employment ka angle
Tourism abhi 4.5 crore logo ko employment de raha hai. Data ke hisaab se, har ₹1 Crore ke investment par lagbhag 80 jobs create hoti hain. Agar infrastructure sahi raha, toh 2047 tak employment 10 crore tak pahunch sakta hai.
Investors ke liye advice: Expansion ke chakkar mein debt-to-equity ratio na bigde, is par hamesha nazar rakhein.
