Chennai: As cricket fans prepare to celebrate one of the most highly anticipated tournaments of the year, Global hospitality technology company OYO has announced that it will add 500 new hotels in host cities in the next three months to meet the anticipated increase in booking demand, and to provide comfortable and affordable accommodation options during the tournament.
The tournament will take place in Ahmedabad, Hyderabad, Delhi, Dharamsala, Chennai, Lucknow, Bengaluru, Mumbai, Kolkata, and Pune. The new hotels will be strategically located near the stadiums, ensuring ease of access for cricket fans traveling from around the world to witness their favourite teams in action.
The tournament will begin on October 05 and conclude on November 19, with teams like India, England, Australia, South Africa, New Zealand, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, West Indies, and Afghanistan participating. The air is already palpable with excitement, with hotel tariffs soaring due to heightened demand across host cities three months ahead. OYO has also witnessed a significant surge in demand for the duration of the tournament. Additionally, price of air tickets around match days to host cities have also shot up significantly, indicating a prosperous run for the entire tourism and hospitality industry.
Commenting on the expansion plans, an OYO spokesperson said: “Travel demand automatically goes up whenever the dates for a marquee cricket tournament are announced- such is the magic and power of this sport that binds millions together. We want to ensure that everyone who is travelling from far away to watch their favourite teams has access to a comfortable and affordable accommodation.
