    The hotel industry - an overview

    The hotel industry has reported impressive earnings and revenue growth for the year ended March 2001. This was after a slack period in the financialyear 2000, when net profits dipped on a negative sales growth. The industryis again headed for a hit, with the attacks on the world's largest financialcentre in the US.

    Highlights:

    The Indian hotel industry is metro dependent, as 75 to 80 per cent of the revenues of top hotel chains come from the five metros. Mumbaiand Delhi are the most profitable hotel markets currently.

    The hotel industry is heavily taxed. Expenditure tax, luxury tax andsales tax inflate the hotel bill by over 30 per cent. The effective tax inSoutheast Asian countries works out to only 4 to 5 per cent. As thesetaxes are the domain of the state government, the rates varyaccordingly. Among the metro cities, the luxury tax rate in Chennai isthe highest.

    The average room rate (ARR) and occupancy are the two most critical

    factors that determine the profitability. ARR, in turn, depends onlocation, brand image, star rating, quality of facilities and servicesoffered and the seasonal factor.

    In the long term, the hotel industry in India has a latent potential for growth. This is because India is an ideal destination for tourists as it isthe only country with the most diverse topography. India attractsapproximately 2.5 million tourists every year that is just 0.4 per centof the world tourist arrivals. Countries like Thailand and Malaysiaattract thrice as many tourists.

    Indian hospitality: Aperformance check

    The Indian Hotel Industry Survey compiled by HVS International based onthe data supplied by FHRAI (on the basis of facts and figures sent by itshotel members on Hotel Fact Sheet), presents a study of 1,065 hotels(74,112 rooms) across various cities in India, compared to 1,109 hotels(60,773 rooms) last year. Mumbai had the largest number of survey

    participants (91 in all categories), followed by New Delhi (30 in allcategories), Bangalore (27 in all categories), Goa and Kolkata (23 each in allcategories).

    As before, we present two key operating characteristics - occupancy andaverage room rate (ARR) - for 30 important hotel markets on an 'All India'

    basis.

    In 2004-05, Visakhapatnam was the market leader in terms of occupancy, registering occupancy of 80.6 per cent. Bangaloreachieved the second-highest occupancy at 79.8 per cent. It also hadthe highest (ARR), across all categories among the 30 cities, with anARR of Rs 6,762. New Delhi was the second highest, registering anARR of Rs 5,498. All India average occupancy was 63.6 per cent, an

    increase of 3.9 per cent occupancy points above the previous year'slevel, or 6.5 per cent in real terms. All India ARR increased by 26.9

    per cent over the previous year. Star category-wise occupancies ranged between 46.3 per cent to 72.1

    per cent. Average rates showed a much greater spread, from Rs 5,499for five-star deluxe hotels to Rs 643 for one-star hotels, an increase of Rs 1,052 and Rs 140, respectively, from the previous year.

    The All India average revenue per available room (RevPAR)increased substantially, from Rs 1,605 in 2003-04 to Rs 2,170 in2004-05, reflecting an increase of 35.2 per cent. In the eight years of the survey, this has been the second-highest RevPAR growth (thehighest was 46.2 per cent in 2003-04).

    Rooms revenue, generally considered being the most important sourceof a hotel's overall profitability, was 57.7 per cent of total revenue for five-star deluxe hotels, 60.1 per cent of total revenue for five-star hotels and 56.6 per cent for four-star hotels. Overall (across all hotels)

    it represented 57.3 per cent of total revenue (an increase of 5.7 per cent from 2003-04).

    Food & Beverage revenue represented 28.3 per cent of total revenueacross all hotels, a decrease of 4.6 per cent from last year. (Thisreflects the increased share of rooms revenue in the total of 100). Theall India average of Rooms department expense as a percentage of Rooms revenue declined further from 17.8 per cent in 2003-04 to 14.7

    per cent in 2004-05. Similarly, the all India average Food & Beverage department expense

    as a percentage of Food & Beverage revenue declined from 55.9 per cent in 2003-04 to 53.9 per cent in 2004-05. Minor Operateddepartment expense as a percentage of Minor Operated departmentrevenue registered an increase from 53.7 per cent in 2003-04 to 58.8

    per cent in 2004-05. Telephone and other department expense, at 64.3 per cent of total

    revenue, was the highest departmental expense. Total departmentalexpense as a percentage of total departmental revenue reflected afurther decline, from 37.4 per cent in 2002-03 and 33.7 per cent in2003-04 to 30.9 per cent in 2004-05. This is partly owing to higher ARRs.

    Percentage of foreign guests increased to 28.3 per cent in 2004-05,compared to 25.0 per cent in 2003-04, primarily as the percentage of foreign business travellers grew. Of the foreign guests, the UK

    provided the largest demand, at 16.2 per cent, followed by USA, at12.8 per cent, and France at 7.2 per cent. Domestic guests continue to

    be the most important segment for the Indian hotel industry,accounting for 71.7 per cent of all guests in 2004-05, though this hasdecreased marginally from 75 per cent in 2003-04 and 76.9 per cent in2002-03.

    All India average stay of a business traveller has increased from twodays to 2.4 days.There is an increase in foreign business travellersutilising five-star deluxe, five-star, four-star hotels and heritage hotelsfrom 27 per cent, 18.6 per cent, 11.4 per cent and 11.7 per cent,

    respectively, in 2003-04 to 28.1 per cent, 21.4 per cent,13.7 per centand 14.1 per cent, respectively, in 2004-05.

    Owing to all India increased occupancy, property operations andmaintenance expenses per available room (PAR) has increased fromRs 69,735 in 2003-04 to Rs 91,981 in 2004-05.

    Average monthly occupancy was highest in December (at 71.7 per cent), followed by November (at 67.8 per cent) and January, February(at 65.8 per cent).

    Direct enquiry and advance reservations by travel agents and tour operators cumulatively comprise 75.9 per cent of reservation sourcefor the Indian hotel industry. Five-star deluxe hotels are making the

    best use of GDS as 8.1 per cent of the total reservations for five-star deluxe hotels come from GDS, against the all India average of 1.7 per cent. GDS reservations generally provide higher room rates comparedto the other channels.

    Print advertising is the most popular medium used by the Indian hotelindustry with the all India average at 92.2 per cent of hotels using it,followed by 82.5 per cent using direct mails.

    Radio advertising features as the least utilised marketing media at 8.4

    per cent, followed by merchandising at 24.5 per cent, by the Indianhotel industry in 2004-05. All five-star deluxe hotels (sample size 32)used the hotel website at 100 per cent as a marketing medium in 2004-05.

    Credit cards as a mode of transaction increased from 27.7 per cent and30.4 per cent in 2002-03 and 2003-04, respectively to 32.5 per cent in2004-05. Credit cards remained the most popular method of paymentat five-star deluxe hotels at 47.4 per cent. Visa (41.8 per cent) was themost widely used credit card by hotel guests in 2004-05, followed byMastercard (37 per cent). American Express charged the highest creditcard commission at 2.9 per cent against 1.7 per cent by Visa andMastercard.

    Comparison with the results of the survey in 2004-05 with the previous year, shows that nearly all categories (except one-star hotels)saw an increase in occupancy and a significant increase in averagerate (except heritage hotels). This resulted in a major increase inRevPAR across all categories with the highest RevPAR growth infour-star hotels at 41.9 per cent and an all India RevPAR growth at

    35.2 per cent. The demand for rooms has been positive and owing tolack of adequate new supply, hotels in nearly all categories havemanaged to simultaneously increase the occupancy and average rates.

    Among environmental issues, electricity consumption is the mostmonitored attribute, followed by water consumption. Five-star deluxeand five-star hotels continue to monitor environmental issues most

    closely. Energy expenses accounted for 8.9 per cent of total revenuein 2004-05 against 10.5 per cent of total revenue in 2003-04 and 12.3

    per cent in 2002-03. This may be partly attributed to rising revenuesand partly to the increase in efforts made to conserve energy by theindustry.

    HISTORY OF PEARL CORPORATIONPearl Corporation opened its first hotel on September 27, 1957. Pearl's first

    property at Los Angeles International Airport was originally named PearlHouse. The owner of Pearl House was a local entrepreneur by the name of Pearl R. von Dehn.
