According to Icra, the medium-term demand outlook also remains healthy, supported by a confluence of factors, including improvement in infrastructure and air connectivity, favourable demographics, and anticipated growth in large-scale MICE (meetings, incentives, conferences, and exhibitions) events with the opening of multiple new convention centres in the last few years.

Icra Vice President and Sector Head – Corporate Ratings Vinutaa S said, "Demand is expected to remain strong across markets in FY2024 as consumer sentiments continue to be healthy and corporate performance is stable. Hotel-specific demand would, however, depend on location, competition, and other property-related dynamics".
