The Indian government proactive initiatives, such as the renowned "Incredible India" campaign and the development of robust tourism infrastructure, have attracted more tourists. As a result, Market Development Assistance (MDA) scheme guidelines were revised to incentivize tourism stakeholders, expanding its scope and reach, including online promotions, and increased financial assistance to maximize stakeholder benefits. These modifications aim to enhance the scheme’s effectiveness and support stakeholders involved in promoting domestic tourism.

Improvements in transportation infrastructure have made travel more accessible and convenient, while online travel platforms have increased market visibility and accessibility. International hotel chains have also invested in the market, improving the quality of accommodations and boosting overall growth. Additionally, the diversification of hotel offerings, including luxury hotels, budget hotels, boutique hotels, and homestays, caters to different preferences and budgets of travelers, further stimulating market growth. India’s hotel market grapples with upholding consistent quality standards across diverse accommodations, from luxury hotels to budget options.
