India's hospitality sector is booming, with a surge in investments in 2023 ($401 million, JLL India) but managing hotels remains complex due to high opex and dynamic market conditions. In my previous blog, I categorized hotel investors into two groups: 1. Aspirational Investors: Driven by the allure of luxury hotels or past business success, they may underestimate the hospitality industry's challenges. 2. Real Estate Investors: Focused on ROI, they may lack operational expertise to maximize returns. Curio Capital is bridging this gap by creating a hospitality fractional ownership and asset management model. We aim to: • Simplify hospitality investments for a broader audience. • Make hospitality ownership a viable option for everyone's portfolio. • Partner with experienced operators to ensure operational excellence. Our vision is to become India's first Hospitality #SM #REIT offering investors a secure and professionally managed entry into this exciting asset. Currently in our 1st phase we are focused on boutique luxury holiday homes & farmhouses, with an opportunity in #Goa going live in a week. Stay tuned to know what exciting opportunities we have in pipeline for phase 2, which will focus on another asset within the hospitality industry.

India's hospitality sector saw a record investment of $401 million in the financial year 2023, nearly a fourfold increase from the previous year, according to a new report by JLL. The sector has been witnessing a significant surge since 2023, with a record number of hotel signings and openings — 25,176 keys signed and 12,647 keys opened, stated the report titled 'Hotel Investment Trends - India 2023'. "There is an increasing interest in hotel development activity in Tier-II cities, with 54 per cent of the total signings taking place in these locations," it said. The year also achieved a significant milestone of 22 hotel transactions, which is the largest number of assets traded in the last decade, added the report. Greenfield projects in the year, totalling approximately 13,600 keys, also surpassed the 2022 numbers of 8,000 keys, showcasing the hotel developers' confidence in the long-term potential of the sector. Three hotel companies also successfully debuted on the bourses in the year gone by. High Net Worth Individuals (HNIs) and Institutional Capital played a major role in hotel investment activity during 2023, accounting for its largest share at 31 per cent, while real estate developers accounted for 27 per cent, followed by owner operations at 11 per cent. "The year 2023 has been a record year not only in terms of hotel investments but also in terms of new branded hotel openings and signings. Furthermore, 2024 has started with strong tailwinds as we saw prominent hotel deals early on in this year," said Jaideep Dang, managing director, Hotels and Hospitality Group, India, JLL. The first quarter of 2024 has witnessed an 80 per cent year-on-year increase in hotel transaction volumes, reaching $78 million, the report further said. #hospitality #travel #economy #growth #revenuetrends

The Indian hospitality sector has taken the biggest step with ₹2000 crore. I believe India has always been known for its warm hospitality, where guests are treated like gods. And this tradition continues to shine today, with the country's hospitality sector growing rapidly. Ventive Hospitality, a joint venture between Panchshil Realty and Blackstone, is set to take the next big step with a Rs. 2,000 crore IPO. Ventive manages 17 assets, including 13 hotels and 4 mixed-use properties. They plan to use the IPO funds to expand their portfolio, including new luxury hotels in India and abroad. Additionally, with a portfolio featuring brands like Marriott and Ritz-Carlton, Ventive is already India’s third-largest hospitality platform by earnings. They are setting the stage for even greater milestones with their upcoming projects and expansion plans, promising a strong future for Indian hospitality. I believe the question now is: how will this shape the next era of luxury and innovation in hospitality?
