Industry occupancy rose by 2-4 percentage points year-on-year, while average room rates (ARR) increased 6-8% and revenue per available room (RevPAR) grew 11-13%, the report said.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"4\"\/><\/p>\n<p><h2><b>Weddings, MICE activity and international travel to support demand<\/b><\/h2>\n<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"6\"\/>PhillipCapital said the recovery could strengthen in the coming quarters, aided by a heavier wedding calendar, improving meetings, incentives, conferences and exhibitions (MICE) activity and a seasonal increase in international travel from October.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"10\"\/>Limited new hotel supply in key markets could also support room rates and RevPAR as demand improves, the report said.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"12\"\/>\u201cDemand outlook remains positive for Q2FY27, with domestic leisure demand staying strong, corporate travel gradually normalising, and international demand recovering, as connectivity improves,\u201d the report said.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"14\"\/>Demand in the first quarter was stronger in leisure destinations than in business-focused locations.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"17\"\/>For Indian Hotels, Rajasthan and Goa recorded high-20% growth in RevPAR. Chalet Hotels&#8217; resorts posted 19% RevPAR growth, compared with around 5% for its business hotels.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"19\"\/>Leela Hotels&#8217; resorts recorded 24% RevPAR growth, against 14% for its city hotels.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"21\"\/><\/p>\n<p><h2><b>Corporate and international travel remained softer<\/b><\/h2>\n<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"23\"\/>Corporate travel remained softer during the quarter, partly due to geopolitical uncertainty and tighter travel budgets, while international traffic was affected by disruptions linked to the West Asia conflict.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"26\"\/>Domestic air passenger traffic grew just 1.2% year-on-year to 86.3 million in Q1FY27, while international traffic declined around 10.2% to 17.9 million. Total passenger movement fell around 0.9% to 104.2 million.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"28\"\/>However, PhillipCapital said the monthly trend improved as the quarter progressed.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"31\"\/>Domestic passenger growth rose 7.7% in May before normalising to a 1.2% decline in June. The decline in international traffic also narrowed from 18.3% in February to 4.7% in June, according to the report.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"34\"\/><\/p>\n<p><h2><b>Hotel companies report growth in Q1<\/b><\/h2>\n<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"36\"\/>Among the companies covered by PhillipCapital, Leela reported 28% revenue growth and 41% EBITDA growth in Q1FY27.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"38\"\/>Indian Hotels&#8217; revenue rose 15%, while its EBITDA increased 18%. ITC Hotels&#8217; RevPAR grew 8%, while Lemon Tree&#8217;s occupancy improved by 314 basis points.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"40\"\/>\u201cThe Indian hotel industry delivered healthy growth in Q1FY27 despite geopolitical disruptions and normal seasonality,\u201d the report said, adding that industry pricing remained intact even in markets where occupancy softened.<\/div>\n<p><br
