Eastern India’s Hospitality Story Gains Momentum

Eastern India is seeing stronger hospitality interest as domestic tourism, regional connectivity and experiential travel demand rise across destinations such as Assam, Meghalaya, Darjeeling and Odisha. The growing presence of Mayfair Hotels and Resorts and Summit Hotels and Resorts is helping close the quality accommodation gap across the region. Mayfair, founded in 1982, now has 19 properties and has built its identity around heritage-led luxury and nature-linked hospitality. For the B2B travel trade, this signals a larger opportunity Eastern India is moving from an under-supplied tourism region to a market where branded, character-driven stays can support higher-value itineraries.
