The hospitality industry has recorded strong growth in the third quarter of 2025, with markets such as China, India, and the UK leading the rebound. Industry insiders report higher hotel occupancy, rising corporate bookings, and a noticeable uptick in international tourism. Outbound travel from Asia and Europe is fueling this trend, which in turn benefits inbound tourism for countries like India as travellers seek new experiences at home after international trips.
While the outlook is positive, experts caution that inflationary pressures, rising labour costs, and infrastructure challenges—especially in emerging markets—could temper the pace of expansion. For Indian travel trade professionals, the current momentum presents both opportunities and competition: destinations must innovate to attract visitors while maintaining high service standards in an increasingly dynamic market.
