Hotels & Tourism sector: what is happening

Last 14 days to Sep 30, 2026

Tourism remained subdued: arrivals in 1-23 September edged up 0.31% year on year, led by India, but year-to-date arrivals were 1.83% lower amid Middle East disruptions and softer global demand. August tourism earnings rose 2.1%, ending a 10-month decline, yet year-to-date revenue fell 10%. Higher energy costs and weakened purchasing power also weighed on tourism demand.
