Hospitality firms across segments are witnessing a surge in demand—the flip side of the alarming rush by tourists to popular destinations. However, for hospitality firms, the tourist influx has come as a respite after losing two consecutive peak summer seasons to covid restrictions in 2020 and 2021. ITC Hotels, which has recently launched two new properties in Himachal Pradesh (Chail and Shimla), also saw brisk business. The hotel chain said that it has no rooms available any longer at ITC Grand Goa, ITC Grand Bharat, ITC Rajputana and ITC Mughal, Welcomhotel The Savoy in Mussoorie, Welcomhotel Coimbatore, Welcomhotel Shimla, Welcomhotel Chail and Welcomhotel Pine ’n Peak. Goa bookings are now being shifted to properties in Pune, Maharashtra and even in newer destinations such as Wada, Khapoli.
