India’s Hospitality Sector in 2026: How Domestic Demand, Experiential Travel

India’s hospitality sector is expected to grow steadily in 2026, driven by strong domestic travel and a gradual return of international tourists. With over 85-90% of the country’s tourism volumes coming from domestic travellers, the industry is going through noticeable changes, which are strengthening India’s position for both leisure and business travel. The domestic spending within this sector grew significantly in recent years and was expected to reach nearly 90 per cent by 2028 compared to international tourism.
