Why Hilton calls this Asian country the fastest-growing tourism market

* Hilton predicts India will become the world's third-largest hotel market. * Asia-Pacific RevPAR growth is limited by weak Chinese consumer confidence. * Hilton has 60 hotels under construction in India with 400 more planned. Hilton expects India to become the third-largest lodging market globally, driven by strong domestic travel and religious tourism. Asia-Pacific RevPAR rose just 1% in Q2 due to weak Chinese consumer confidence, while other markets like India and North Asia showed double-digit growth. Hilton is expanding aggressively in India with 60 hotels under construction and commitments for 400 more, focusing on mid-scale brands for tier-two and tier-three cities. The company sees opportunities across all price points in Asia-Pacific, fueled by infrastructure investments, growing middle classes, and intra-Asia travel.
