Our Indian business delivered double-digit revenue growth in Q1 despite global travel advisories and domestic airport closures in May, demonstrating the resilience of our luxury-focused portfolio. Amidst continuing global macroeconomic uncertainties, we see demand momentum sustained for the high-end, differentiated guest experiences that our hotels offer, positioning us well as we approach the seasonally strong second half of the year.
In addition to pursuing robust growth on a same-store basis, we have moved forward on our longer-term vision to double our key count over the next five years by signing management contracts with Marriott International for seven new hotels. These will add 1,548 keys over five years, broaden our geographic footprint and help us address newer market segments to power the next leg of growth."
