India 2011 Economicbackdrop Economic liberalization, industrial deregulation, privatization, lower control on trade and investment

served to accelerate real GDP growth at average 7% since 1997.

In 2010, the economy rebounded from the global financial crisis - in large because of strong domesticdemand - and growth exceeded 8%. However, India's economic growth in 2011 is estimated to slow to7.8% because of high inflation and interest rates of 6.8% and 11.8% respectively.

GDP per Capita of US$ 3,700 compared to US$ 3,500 in 2010. Large and growing middle class of 50million Indians with disposable income of US$ 4,100 to US$20,800

India's diverse economy encompasses modern agriculture (19% of output), industries (23%), andservices (54%) out of which (6%) stems from tourism sector. More than 50% of labor force is inagriculture, but services are the major source of economic growth

Unemployment is 8.6%

High crude oil prices have exacerbated the government's fuel subsidy bill contributing to a higher fiscaldeficit of -5% of GDP

External debt of US$267bln, foreign exchange & gold reserve of US$ 347bln, and stable exchange rateof 44-55 per dollar

Indian economy looks positive due to the rapid real economic growth, robust domestic demand, youngEnglish speaking population, healthy saving and investment rates, and integration into global economy.Key challenges are widespread poverty, lack of social and physical infrastructure, limited non agricultureemployment opportunities, and accommodating rural to urban migration.

The budget concept

A new concept emerged as number of tourists willing to pay a high price for luxurioushotels has decreased while number of inbound tourist who travel has dramaticallyincreased. Comfortable accommodation is not luxury anymore

The Americans innovated the Motel concept in the 60th which was adopted by Europeanin the 70s with the creation of brands such as Ibis and Formula1, and Asia has come up

with the budget concept.

The new concept offers what the customer is willing to pay for a good night sleep so thateveryone is allowed to travel

Drastic reduction inconstruction time & cost

(using Prefab structures)

Elimination of non-profitabletouched points (eg: multiplefood and beverage outlets)

Growth drivers

Strong monetary & fiscal policies, and the quick economicrecovery- all result in strong performance in tourism sector in2010.

Robust economic growth added millions annually to theemerging middle-class, a group that driving the domestic tourismgrowth, rose their purchasing power and increased their

awareness to ensure the growth of tourism over the foreseeablefuture. Disposable income in India has grown by 10.11%annually from 2001-2006, and much of that is being spent ontravel.

The Ministry ofTourisms efforts to increase the influx of touriststo the country is likely to see positive results in the coming years.Its campaigns such as Safe and Honorable Tourism & Incredible India increase the image of India as a safedestination, and thereby increase consumer confidence inchoosing India for a holiday.

The booming IT and outsourcing industry. The growing numberof business trips made by foreigners to India, who often add aweekend break or longer holiday to their trip. Foreign tourists

spend more in India than almost any other country worldwide.Over the past decade, number of foreign tourists arrivals has

Conclusion

ConclusionIndia, with a population over 1.2 billion people and a rapidly growing economy at real GDP of 8%, isallowing the hotel market to prosper as hotel brands continue to expand their portfolio in the main citiesand in the regions. The Indian hospitality sector is posed to grow at a CAGR of 15% until 2015 asnumber of foreign tourist arrivals FTAs is rapidly increasing at a CAGR of 7.3%, well educated middleclass continues driving the domestic demand, Indian government is showing serious political well tosupport the growing US$ 17 billion sector, and revival of global economy and hosting sports andimportant events is taking place.

Having said that, the sector is also facing serious challenges including lack of infrastructure, lack oftrained manpower, socio political conditions, and fierce competition in the premium and middle marketsegments which will cause pressure on occupancy and average rate per room. Unlike premium hotels,budget hotels as a new innovative concept is emerging as untapped segment with limitedavailability but positive prospect.

RecommendationI am bullish on the country, industry, and sector. I also like the concept of the budget hotel especiallywith the current high demand for it coupled with its limited availability.
