Though currently going through a slump because of the post September 11 scenario and tension in the sub-continent, 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 increase in the number of Indians travelling overseas. This simply translates into more business and thus more opportunities in the hospitality industry which includes tourism and hotels. An indicator of the growth in the hospitality industry is that 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.
