India's Hotel Boom Is Bigger Than You Think

Something enormous is happening with hotels in India, and I don't think enough people realize the scale of it yet. I brought Bruce Ford, SVP of Lodging Econometrics, back to No Vacancy because the numbers coming out of #India are pretty staggering, but the real story goes much deeper than the size of the pipeline. Global hotel companies are making major moves across the country, investment is accelerating, and Bruce sees development spreading into markets that barely register on most people's radar today. And this isn't simply another #HotelDevelopment boom. Bruce explains why this cycle looks very different from the last big push into India, what changed, where the opportunities are emerging, and why the #Hospitality industry should start looking at India very differently. Some of the numbers Bruce drops during this conversation genuinely surprised me, and they may change how you think about where the next major era of hotel growth will come from.
