Domestic travel, key growth driver for our business in India: Pascal Gauvin, IHG

InterContinental Hotels Group (IHG) has signed a management agreement to bring the Crowne Plaza brand to the historic city of Lucknow, in northern India. Pascal Gauvin, Managing Director, India, Middle East and Africa, IHG, explains, “The signing underscores confidence in the industry despite challenging times. In India, the sector is primarily driven by the domestic travel, which is expected to recover first once the crisis is behind us and it is safe to travel again. Domestic travel has remained a key growth driver for our business in India and we will continue to expand our presence meaningfully to cater to the needs of our guests in the country.”
