Radisson Hotel Group on Wednesday said it is accelerating the expansion of its portfolio across India’s rapidly evolving spiritual tourism destinations, with new hotel openings planned in Shirdi, Puri, Indore and Ujjain.

The company said the expansion reflects a strategic first-mover approach in emerging spiritual hubs, while aligning with the government’s vision for sustainable, inclusive and faith-led tourism.

India’s religious tourism continues to be a key driver of domestic travel and hospitality demand. Data from the Ministry of Tourism shows that religious tourism accounted for over 1,439 million visits in 2022, generating an estimated Rs 1.34 trillion in revenue, underscoring the scale and resilience of faith-based travel.
