OYO To Add 750 Hotels In Over 35 Leisure Markets For Tourism Boost

Hospitality tech giant OYO announced its ambitious plan to expand by adding 750 hotels to its platform within the next three months. These new additions will primarily feature under OYO's premium brands, including Palette, Townhouse, Townhouse Oak, and Collection O. The strategic focus for this expansion will cover popular leisure destinations such as Goa, Jaipur, Mussoorie, Rishikesh, Katra, Puri, Shimla, Nainital, Udaipur, and Mount Abu.

The move aligns with OYO's mission to offer quality accommodations and unforgettable experiences to travellers while boosting tourism and creating job opportunities in local communities, as highlighted by Anuj Tejpal, OYO's Chief Merchant Officer. According to OYO, a recent government report indicated a 106% increase in foreign tourist arrivals in India during the first half of this year compared to the same period in 2022.

With the upcoming festive and winter tourism season, running from October to January, OYO aims to cater to the growing demand from both domestic and international travellers. To enhance customer convenience, OYO has also introduced a "stay now, pay later" (SNPL) option, allowing travellers a credit limit of Rs 5,000 that can be settled 15 days after their stay.
