According to Indian industry mass-media, the internal tourism suffers from the same problems as in Russia. According to the Tourism review, despite the growth in demand, India has lack of tourist class hotels, and current ones are too expensive. Indeed, the high price of hotels can be explained by its scarcity. Experts seriously concerned that hotel owners will simply kill the growing tourism industry.

Last year, 4 million foreign tourists visited India. However, not foreigners, but the Indians make up the main stream of tourism in India: they accounted for 75% of all tourist trips in the past two years. But the rest in their own country can even afford a regular Indian. For a room in 5* hotel he will have to put almost a year salary. For comparison, the average salary in China two times higher than in India, and the price of accommodation – is several times lower.

The economic boom in India led to a boom of business travel. But the number of conference rooms, congress hotels are failing them for growth. Consequently, the prices of the hotels that can serve for the business meetings, conferences and various corporate events, so high that businesses are forced to settle in the surrounding area or nearby towns and go on their daily activities are sometimes hundreds of kilometers.

Now many international hotel chains are ready to come to India: Accor, Hilton, Wyndham and the Pan Pacific. However, they also face challenges – in India, the land is extremely expensive. Many companies simply inefficient to build a hotel here. Another problem: lack of infrastructure, lack of roads. Here, however, the case moved from dead point, as well as the Indian Government began to actively invest in the development of road.
