India, a country of snow-peaked mountains, palm-fringed beaches, and historic monuments, is a traveler's paradise. Being a country catering to tourists around the world, it has all the facilities required for making its tourism sector a success.

Over the last 15 years, the mad rush to India for business opportunities has intensified, resulting in high occupancy levels in hotels across the country. With tremendous pull of opportunity, India is a destination for hotel chains looking for growth. According to data sourced from the World Travel and Tourism Council, India currently ranks 18th in business travel and will be among the top 5 by the end of the decade.

According to the tourism ministry, 4.4 million tourists visited India in 2008 and it is expected that the number will rise up to 10 million in 2010. The shortage of about 1,50,000 rooms in India has resulted in acute shortage of hotel rooms and very high room rates.

One of the fillers of this need gap is the Pride Group of Hotels, which started with just one hotel in 1988 and, in a short span of time, has positioned itself as an eminently successful ...
... chain with four fully-owned, Five Star Hotels. Let us explore the Group's journey with that of the overall tourism industry in the country.

Currently, tourism in South India is on a rise. Chennai, the capital city of Tamil Nadu, is the gateway to the intriguing South India. This metropolitan city, once the centre of the rich Dravidian culture, still carries the legacy of its glorious past. Its temples and monuments continue to draw a large number of visitors to the hotels in Chennai.

Bangalore, with its invigorating climate, is another important tourist attraction in Southern India. It is home to some of the best gardens, lakes and historical monuments. Of late, the city has shot into worldwide fame by becoming the software hub of India. So, for all good reasons, leisure tourists and business travelers swarm into hotels in Bangalore.

Pride Hotel features among the top hotels in Bangalore. Travelers can select from 57 deluxe rooms, 37 superior rooms and 5 suites, each featuring a twin/queen bed, plush carpeting, exclusive privileges and a host of amenities.

One among the most eminent hotels in Chennai, Pride Hotel offers 115 aesthetically-designed, luxurious rooms, each with in-built facilities that are invaluable to the business and leisure traveler.

Besides Five Star hotels in Bangalore and Chennai, the Group also has fully-owned hotels in Ahmedabad, Nagpur and Pune. The Pride Group is currently undertaking a massive expansion plan with an objective to emerge as a national hotel chain offering world-class hospitality standards, combined with excellent ambience and quality service across the country. This move will result in additional rooms for travelers to India and will act like a shot in the arm for the over-burdened tourism industry in the country.
