“Aviation is a true integrator of the economy, bringing high investments and facilitating trade as well as tourism. Growth in aviation could also create jobs for millions of young men and women, especially as it is a service industry involving deployment of vast human resources. The civil aviation sector can clock 25 percent compounded growth in the next ten years. Our estimate is that the sector would need investment to the tune of Rs. 1,50,000 crore spread over ten years.” – by Mr. Praful Patel ( present Civil Aviation Minister) in Economic Times

	It is party time for hotel companies in India! Domestic companies are aggressively adding rooms and setting up greenfield projects. Foreign hotel companies are making full use of the relaxed norms for foreign direct investment in India. In the next five years, we should expect to see around 40 different hotel brands dotting the Indian landscape. The addition of many new hospitality products, and a much larger and more sophisticated hotel industry in India will bring with it a new set of pressures. Today, however, hotels are vying with each other to capture the best talent. Most of the time, it simply a matter of numbers: as more rooms and more properties are added, a larger number of people are needed - to lead, to manage and to execute the various functions involved in operating a hotel. The following table presents the manpower requirement (across all hotels segments) by the new supply and its growth in 2006-2011.
