Radisson Targets 500 Hotels in India by 2030 Amid Travel Surge
24 Aug
Summary
- Radisson Hotel Group plans to expand to 500 hotels in India by 2030
- India is Radisson's second-largest market after China, with over 140 hotels currently
- Radisson sees strong growth in India's domestic and inbound tourism
As of August 2025, Radisson Hotel Group, the hospitality conglomerate behind brands like Radisson Blu and Park Inn, is aggressively expanding its presence in India. The group, owned by Chinese state-owned firm Jin Jiang International, currently operates more than 140 hotels in the country and has another 70 in the pipeline.
Radisson's top executive, Federico J. González, has revealed that the company is targeting a portfolio of 500 hotels in India by 2030, treating the country as a strategic growth market second only to China in terms of the number of properties. González noted that India's large size and immense travel potential make the 500-hotel goal an ambitious but achievable target.
Compared to a relatively stable performance in China, India has seen significant growth for Radisson in recent years. The group was among the first to recognize the opportunity in India, not just in major metros but also in secondary and tertiary cities. With rising incomes, improved infrastructure, and a surge in domestic travel, India's travel market has become a key focus area for Radisson's global expansion.
While Radisson's core business in India remains in the mid-market segment, the group also has a presence in the luxury space. González highlighted that Indian consumers, across price points, are highly value-conscious, a trait that is influencing their hotel choices.
