3. OUTLOOK FOR INDIAN ECONOMY & INDUSTRIAL STRUCTURE:
India has emerged as the fastest growing major economy in the world and is expected to be one of the top three
economic powers in the world over the next 5 years, backed by its robust democracy and strong partnerships.
A number of sectors in India - real estate, steel, cement, home building products and consumer durables, among
others - reported unprecedented growth. By 2040, the real estate market will grow to '' 65,000 Crore (US$ 9.30
billion) from '' 12,000 Crore (US$ 1.72 billion) in 2019. Real estate sector in India is expected to reach US$ 1 trillion
in market size by 2030, up from US$ 200 billion in 2021 and contribute 13% to the country''s GDP by 2025. Retail,
hospitality and commercial real estate are also growing significantly, providing the much-needed infrastructure for
India''s growing needs.
India''s real estate sector is expected to expand to US$ 5.8 trillion by 2047, contributing 15.5% to the GDP from an
existing share of 7.3%.
In 2024, we anticipate further downward trends in the global economy. This however, should be an opportunity for
the Indian economy to become a world leader. The Tourism and Hospitality sector is likely to continue on its journey
of long-term growth as we see a continuous rise in GDP per capita, larger disposable incomes, growing urbanization
and most of all a larger focus of the world on us as the next big economy.
An increase in earning potential, a need for a better standard of living and the growing base of aspirational
consumers and their lifestyle changes have led to substantial growth in the sector. With suited economic growth, the
premium housing segment will also witness higher demand in the years to come.
India''s growth continues to be resilient despite some signs of moderation in growth, although significant challenges
remain in the global environment, India was one of the fastest growing economies in the world.
India''s growth continues to be resilient despite some signs of moderation in growth, although significant challenges
remain in the global environment, India was one of the fastest growing economies in the world.
The global tourism industry continued its strong resurgence in 2024, nearly achieving full recovery from the
pandemic''s impact. Results were driven by strong post-pandemic demand, robust performance from large source
markets and the ongoing recovery of destinations in Asia and the Pacific. As per UNWTO Barometer January 2025,
international tourist arrivals are estimated to have reached 1.4 billion in 2024, marking an 11% growth over 2023 and
99% of pre-pandemic levels. Europe remained the most visited region with a 52% share, surpassing 747 million
international arrivals, a 5% increase vis-a-vis 2023, and slightly exceeding its 2019 benchmark, while the Americas
registered 214 million travellers, a 7% increase vis-a-vis 2023, and reached 97% of pre-pandemic levels. The Middle
East registered 1% growth over the previous year, however, surpassing 2019 arrivals by 32%, while Africa also
outperformed pre-pandemic levels by 7% and 12% had a increase vis-a-vis 2023.
The Asia-Pacific (APAC) region made significant strides toward recovery, recording 316 million international arrivals
with an overall share increase to 22% in 2024 as against 18% in 2023. While still lagging behind 2019 numbers at 87%
recovery, the region''s growth on y-o-y basis was steepest at 33% accelerated by a revival in key markets.
Total export revenues from tourism (including passenger transport) are estimated at a record USD 1.9 trillion in
2025, about 3% higher than before the pandemic and 4% more than in 2019 (real terms).
FY 2024-25 marked another landmark year for Indian tourism, driven by strong fundamentals such as a youthful
population, rising employment, growing disposable incomes, and solid domestic demand. Improved infrastructure,
greater connectivity, and increased investments have further accelerated the sector''s momentum. The Union
Budget 2025-26 allocated '' 2,541 crore ($291 million) for the tourism sector, with a focus on infrastructure upgrades,
skill development, and easing travel. Key initiatives include the development of 50 leading tourist destinations,
improved transport connectivity, and expanding the e-visa programme. As of December 2024, e-visas are available
to citizens from 167 countries under 9 categories â making travel to India simpler and more accessible.
The Ministry of Tourism advanced its flagship schemes such as Swadesh Darshan, PRASHAD, UDAN, and Dekho
Apna Desh, encouraging regional and cultural tourism. Under PRASHAD, 27 new sites across 18 states and UTs
were selected for development, with a continued emphasis on spiritual and heritage tourism. States have also
introduced their own policies and incentives to promote local travel and boost their tourism economies.
This year also saw major strides in airport infrastructure, with 10 new greenfield airports becoming operational
bringing the total count to 159 by the end of December 2024. Largescale projects at Noida (Jewar) and Navi
Mumbai are nearing completion and are set to open in 2025.
Foreign tourist arrivals reached 9.7 million in 2024 as against 9.23 million in 2023. This year''s arrival denoted a
recovery of 88% of the 2019 high of 10.9 million, signalling steady progress toward full recovery. Outbound travel,
on the other hand, surged ahead, with 30.2 million Indians travelling abroad in 2024 â 12% above pre-COVID
levels. Domestic air travel remained strong, growing by 6% to 161 million passengers and surpassing 2019 figures
by 12%. Key demand drivers included leisure travel, weddings, business events, and corporate travel.
According to the India Hotel Market Review 2024 by Horwath HTL, national occupancy stood at 63.9% for 2024 as
compared to 62.1% in 2023. While the occupancy is still marginally below the 2019 level of 64.5%, Revenue per day
was 82% higher than 2019 indicating market growth both in terms of capacity and size. The average daily rate
(ADR) rose to '' 7,951, marking a 7.5% y-o-y increase and revenue per available room (RevPAR) rose to '' 5,078,
marking 10.7% year on year increase. Udaipur reported highest ADR followed by Mumbai and then by Goa and
New Delhi highlighting the continued demand for premium destinations.
According to Horwath HTL''s India Hotel Market Review 2024, around 14,400 rooms across 169 hotels were added
in 2024, taking the total supply of branded hotel rooms to approximately 2,00,000. Notably, over two-thirds of these
additions were in emerging destinations beyond the top 10 markets, indicating growing depth and diversification
in India''s hospitality landscape.
4. FUTURE PROPSECTS AND OUTLOOK OF THE COMPANY:
The Indian economy is projected to grow by more than 6% in FY25 as per various institutional estimates, making it
one of the fastest-growing economies. India''s growth journey could be the result of a culmination of favourable
tailwinds like consistent agricultural performance, increase in government spending, reforms and an efficient roll-out
of the vaccine, among others.
India''s economic outlook for FY 2025-26 remains optimistic, underpinned by strong domestic fundamentals and
supportive policy frameworks. The Reserve Bank of India (RBI), in its April 2025 Monetary Policy Statement,
projects real GDP growth at 6.5% for FY 2025-26. Manufacturing activity is expected to retain its momentum,
bolstered by global demand recovery, the Production-linked Incentive (PLI) schemes, and a conducive investment
environment. Services are expected to grow above trend, supported by sustained demand in contact-intensive
segments and digital services exports.
A normal monsoon forecast is likely to aid agriculture and rural consumption. Urban consumption is expected to
benefit from improving disposable incomes and stable inflation. Bank credit growth, which expanded by over 11%
y-o-y as of March 2025, is expected to remain healthy, supported by sound bank balance sheets and rising
investment appetite.
The government''s continued focus on infrastructure, clean energy transition and digital public infrastructure is
poised to drive medium-term growth. However, risks remain from global trade owing to rising protectionist measures,
persistent geopolitical tensions, rising supply chain pressures, and volatile global financial conditions.
The global tourism and hospitality sector is poised for continued growth in 2025, following a full recovery from the
pandemic in the previous year. According to the United Nations World Tourism Organisation (UNWTO), international
tourist arrivals are projected to increase by 3% to 5% compared to 2024, indicating a normalisation of growth
following the sharp post-pandemic rebound. Confidence within the industry remains high â UNWTO''s January
2025 Confidence Index reports that 64% of surveyed travel professionals anticipate stronger performance this year
than in 2024. This optimism is underpinned by key enablers such as enhanced air connectivity and the simplification
of visa processes, both of which are expected to further support the sector''s expansion (Source: UNWTO, World
Tourism Barometer, January 2025).
The World Travel & Tourism Council (WTTC) forecasts that 2025 will be a landmark year for the industry. The sector''s
global economic contribution is expected to reach a record breaking $11.7 trillion â up from $10.9 trillion in 2023
and $10.3 trillion in 2019. This represents a 6.7% increase over the previous year and a 13% rise compared to pre¬
pandemic levels. Moreover, travel and tourism are set to support 371 million jobs globally in 2025, surpassing
employment levels seen before the pandemic.
However the industry continues to face external risks, including trade tensions and geopolitical instability, which may
influence traveller behaviour and discretionary spend potentials. Travellers are expected to prioritise value driven
options and intra-regional trips. According to CBRE''s 2025 Global Hotel Outlook, the Asia-Pacific region is set to
experience modest revenue per available room (RevPAR) growth, fuelled by rising wealth and demand that is
outpacing relatively slow new supply.
The Company witnessed an uptick in Hotel & Hospitality Sector compared to the year before. While we do expect
the demand to catch up within the year, we believe the customers would expect relaxed holiday plans. We also
expect some increase in customer outstanding owing to the pessimistic liquidity environment.
As the good market player, Country Club Hospitality & Holidays Limited has performed much better compared to
the previous year. Occupancy has increased significantly. At the same time, membership acquisitions has recovered
from the previous year and the Company added significant room inventory in FY 2024-25.
This has been possible due to your Company''s ability to leverage technology to drive business, its committed teams
and a strong service culture. This allowed it to continue to reach-out to prospects, service members and swiftly
restart and ramp-up operations after the restrictions were lifted. And, of course, the major factor has been the
Country Club brand, which gives its members the confidence to travel and enjoy safe and immersive holiday
experiences.
Your Company will focus on opportunistic growth avenues in current environment to create a healthy project
pipeline across its markets. Fast turnaround deals shall be a specific focus area for new deals in F.Y 2024-2025.
When evaluating new projects, the Company will continue to seek superior long-term growth in shareholder value
by maximizing returns through optimal financing and fiscal discipline. The Company shall also enhance agility
across its processes to further reduce project launch turnaround times. These shall provide your company with the
competitive edge in operational excellence and customer experience respectively.
Country Club remains optimistic about the long-term sectorial direction. With a strong brand, Pan-India presence in
Hyderabad, Mumbai, Ahmedabad, Faridabad, Surat, Kolkata, Kochi, Lucknow, Bandipur, Kovalam, Kodaikanal,
Jim Corbett, Goa, Chennai and Bengaluru, demonstrated track record and robust marketing capabilities, your
Company is poised for a better growth trajectory comparing to the current year.

3. OUTLOOK FOR INDIAN ECONOMY & INDUSTRIAL STRUCTURE:
India has emerged as the fastest growing major economy in the world and is expected to be one of the top three economic powers in the world over the next 5 years, backed by its robust democracy and strong partnerships.
A number of sectors in India - real estate, steel, cement, home building products and consumer durables, among others - reported unprecedented growth. By 2040, the real estate market will grow to '' 65,000 Crore (US$ 9.30 billion) from '' 12,000 Crore (US$ 1.72 billion) in 2019. Real estate sector in India is expected to reach US$ 1 trillion in market size by 2030, up from US$ 200 billion in 2021 and contribute 13% to the country''s GDP by 2025. Retail, hospitality and commercial real estate are also growing significantly, providing the much-needed infrastructure for India''s growing needs.
In 2024, we anticipate further downward trends in the global economy. This however, should be an opportunity for the Indian economy to become a world leader. The Tourism and Hospitality sector is likely to continue on its journey of long-term growth as we see a continuous rise in GDP per capita, larger disposable incomes, growing urbanization and most of all a larger focus of the world on us as the next big economy.
An increase in earning potential, a need for a better standard of living and the growing base of aspirational consumers and their lifestyle changes have led to substantial growth in the sector. With suited economic growth, the premium housing segment will also witness higher demand in the years to come.
India''s growth continues to be resilient despite some signs of moderation in growth, although significant challenges remain in the global environment, India was one of the fastest growing economies in the world.
The overall growth remains robust and is estimated to be 6.9% for the full year of FY 2022-23. There were some signs of moderation in the second half of FY 2022-23. Growth was underpinned by strong investment activity bolstered by the government''s capex push and buoyant private consumption, particularly among higher income earners. Inflation remained high, averaging around 6.7% in FY 2023-24 but the current account deficit narrowed in Q3 on the back of strong growth in service exports and easing global commodity prices.
The global tourism industry demonstrated remarkable resilience and adaptability in 2024. During the year, tourist arrivals internationally were 1,286 million, showing a 34% increase vis-a-vis 2023 and an 88% recovery from the pre pandemic levels of 2019. Europe retained the largest share of global inbound tourism, with 55% share in 2024, growing by 17% over that of 2023, and reaching 94% of the pre-pandemic levels.
4. FUTURE PROPSECTS AND OUTLOOK OF THE COMPANY:
The Indian economy is projected to grow by more than 6% in FY24 as per various institutional estimates, making it one of the fastest-growing economies. India''s growth journey could be the result of a culmination of favourable tailwinds like consistent agricultural performance, flattening of the COVID-19 infection curve, increase in government spending, reforms and an efficient roll-out of the vaccine, among others.
The Company witnessed an uptick in Hotel & Hospitality Sector compared to the year before. While we do expect the demand to catch up within the year, we believe the customers would expect relaxed holiday plans. We also expect some increase in customer outstanding owing to the pessimistic liquidity environment.
Leisure travel in India gathered momentum as Covid restrictions were eased. As the good market player, Country Club Hospitality & Holidays Limited has performed much better compared to the previous year. Occupancy has increased significantly. At the same time, membership acquisitions has recovered from the previous year and the Company added significant room inventory in FY 2023-24.
This has been possible due to your Company''s ability to leverage technology to drive business, its committed teams and a strong service culture. This allowed it to continue to reach-out to prospects, service members and swiftly restart and ramp-up operations after the restrictions were lifted. And, of course, the major factor has been the Country Club brand, which gives its members the confidence to travel and enjoy safe and immersive holiday experiences.
Your Company will focus on opportunistic growth avenues in current environment to create a healthy project pipeline across its markets. Fast turnaround deals shall be a specific focus area for new deals in F.Y 2023-2024. When evaluating new projects, the Company will continue to seek superior long-term growth in shareholder value by maximizing returns through optimal financing and fiscal discipline. The Company shall also enhance agility across its processes to further reduce project launch turnaround times. These shall provide your company with the competitive edge in operational excellence and customer experience respectively.
Country Club remains optimistic about the long-term sectorial direction. With a strong brand, Pan-India presence in Hyderabad, Mumbai, Ahmedabad, Faridabad, Surat, Kolkata, Kochi, Lucknow, Bandipur, Kovalam, Kodaikanal, Jim Corbett, Goa, Chennai and Bengaluru, demonstrated track record and robust marketing capabilities, your Company is poised for a better growth trajectory comparing to the current year.

last few years partially due to an excellent ÂIncredible India'' campaign and is expected to rise up to US$ 431.7 billion by the end of 2020.
The presence of world-class hospitals and skilled medical professionals make India a preferred destination for medical tourism. Tour operators are teaming up with hospitals to tap this market.
Cruise shipping is one of the most dynamic and fastest growing components of the global leisure industry. India with a vast and beautiful coastline, virgin forests, and undisturbed idyllic islands can be a fabulous tourist destination for cruise tourists.
India has potential to develop the rural tourism industry as most of its population resides in rural areas. This can benefit the local community economically and socially, and enable interaction between tourists and locals for a mutually enriching experience.
