Ahmedabad: Twin cities of Ahmedabad and Gandhinagar will need to add 22,000 rooms to the existing infrastructure to host mega-sporting events namely World Police and Fire Games in 2029 and Commonwealth Games (CWG) in 2030.
The occupancy for 5-star and 4-star hotels along with boutique hotels ranges from 60% to 68%, according to our estimates. Even at the conservative estimates, the gap between demand and supply is from 65% for luxury hotels to 60% for budget hotels and 70% for airport hospitality to 90% for MICE (meetings, incentives, conferences, exhibitions) venues,” said researchers. In Doha, about 70,000 new beds were added in four years under the PPP model for the FIFA World Cup in 2022.
“Barcelona added about 300% in hotel room capacity in five years in 1992 due to the Olympics.
The idea is to not just add temporary infrastructure but also plan for its future utilization,” she said. Sejal Patel, dean of the Faculty of Management at CEPT University, pointed to how past global sporting events have reshaped hotel capacity in host cities.
