Accor is expanding its footprint in India, positioning itself to capitalize on a post-pandemic boom in the hospitality sector where domestic travellers are increasingly willing to splurge on high-end experiences.

"India's hospitality industry is at an inflection point. The market is changing and also continuing to grow post the pandemic and we want to be at the forefront of this opportunity," Gaurav Bhushan, global CEO of Accor's lifestyle and leisure brands and co-CEO of its Ennismore Hotels, who is visiting India this week, told Mint.
