The Indian hospitality industry witnessed a decline of 38.7 per cent in
Revenue Per Available Room (RevPAR) during the first quarter of 2021 as
compared to 2020, said a report on Thursday.
According to JLL's
Hotel Momentum India (HMI) Q1 2021, a quarterly hospitality sector
monitor, RevPAR in the top six Indian cities has decreased by 48 per
cent in Q1 2021 as compared to Q1 2020.
Total number of signings
in Q1 2021 stood at 28 hotels comprising 2,064 keys, recording a decline
of 53 per cent as compared to the same period last year.
International operators dominated signings over domestic operators with the ratio of 54:46 in terms of inventory volume.
Goa
grew to be the RevPAR leader in absolute terms, despite the single
digit decline of RevPAR by 1.1 per cent in Q1 2021 compared to Q1 2020.
This was due to a 6.4 per cent increase in occupancy levels.
Demand
for domestic leisure travel amidst international travel restrictions
continues to make Goa the fastest recovering market in absolute term.
Bengaluru
saw the sharpest decline in RevPAR in Q1 2021, with a 60.6 per cent
decline compared to the same period of the previous year.
Demand
and supply of operational inventory in six major cities declined by 6.7
per cent and 4.2 per cent, respectively in the first quarter of 2021.
Jaideep
Dang, Managing Director, Hotels and Hospitality Group, South Asia, JLL
said: "In Q1 2021, hospitality industry witnessed a revival, with most
leisure markets performing exceptionally well. The pace of recovery
started picking up due to increase in corporate travel, but it was short
lived as the onset of second wave brought back travel restrictions and
derailed the recovery.
We expect that the hospitality sector in
India will mostly remain under stress in 2021. However, the hotels are
much nimbler and better prepared in terms of their SOPs and cost
structures to navigate business interruptions this year. A few trades
may emerge in the hotel investment space given the dynamic cash flow
situations."
