While overall Asia Pacific hospitality investment volumes saw a 19 per cent dip in Q1 2025, India's unique position is reshaping the landscape and sustaining robust valuations. The report highlights that the steady momentum from 2024 has continued into 2025 for the Asia Pacific hospitality sector, shifting towards performance-led growth.
But India stands out. A key development is the burgeoning Indian outbound travel market, which is increasingly fuelling the hospitality sector in destinations such as Thailand, Vietnam and South Korea. With growing disposable incomes and a strong appetite for experience-led travel, Indian tourists are becoming a dependable, year-round source of demand, contributing to strong room rates and marking a structural change in regional hospitality dynamics.
