Industry players anticipate a surge in recruitment within the Indian hospitality and tourism sector in the future, following substantial growth this year, primarily driven by domestic travel. Analysts predict a minimum 25 per cent increase in the demand for personnel, with related sectors such as travel, aviation, ticket booking, travel guides, and consultants experiencing a growing need. “The hotel industry’s direct contribution to India’s GDP reaching US $1 trillion by 2047 is a significant milestone. This substantial growth will undoubtedly bolster job creation within the sector, providing employment to millions of individuals across diverse skill sets,” said K B Kachru, Vice President, HAI.
