Hotel Mergers: A Strategic Move for Owners
In today’s competitive landscape, hoteliers are seeking new ways to optimise revenue and strengthen their brand positioning. M&A provides a powerful solution, enabling hotels to expand market reach, consolidate operations, and enhance financial performance.

According to a 2024 hospitality industry report, hotel asset management companies have observed a 15% increase in M&A activity in India, driven by changing guest demands and investor confidence. This growth has led hotel owners to partner with top hotel consultants in India to navigate complex deals and ensure seamless transitions.
