Integrated PMS System for Hotels in Gujarat

Widely projected as a land of opportunity, Gujarat is marching ahead as one of the most favored tourism and hospitality destinations in India. This westernmost state of India has recently conferred ‘industry status’ to its thriving tourism industry. This initiative will no doubt propel the growth of tourism and hotels across the state.

Gujarat, a travelers’ paradise

Gujarat showcases some of its unique tourism products to attract a growing number of guests. Be it Gir national park, the home to Asiatic lions or archeological sites in Lothal and Dholavira, the ancient city on Kutch, Gujarat has promoted them with much vigor. Religious tourism does well in the state with destinations like the Somnath temple, Dwarakadheesh temple and Haji Pir Dargha. Additionally, Ahmedabad, the commercial capital of the state draws a good number of business travelers, too.

According to a report by Gujarat Industrial and Technical Consultancy Organization Limited, the number of leisure travelers visiting the state grew by 17.7 per cent to 2.4 million. With 16% growth rate, the number of religious travelers stands at 10.2 million. Similarly, 19.2 million business travelers visited Gujarat during 2014-15, registering a 12.38 per cent growth over last year.

Gujarat is the choicest destination for hotel investment

According to the World Travel & Tourism Council’s Economic Impact 2015 data, the 2total investment Gujarat is set to receive by 2025 will be Rs 26,000 crores. The state is doing everything to provide requisite infrastructure to the hotel industry. Under its new tourism policy 2015-2020, Gujarat is working towards adding up 5,000 to 7,000 hotel rooms.

Importance of PMS Software for Hotels in Gujarat

When, hotels in a city offer more or less same type of services, it becomes tough for them to stay ahead of competitions. In order to survive in the long run, hoteliers need to attract more guests and offer them quality services. However things get complex when hoteliers need to ensure consistent room occupancy while also ensuring smooth daily operations.
