Vilas Pawar, CEO, Choice Hotels, however, says that the three week extravaganza would be a temporary phase for the hotel industry and it will see a marginal increase in the occupancy figures.

"We have witnessed a substantial loss of around 25-30 per cent drop in the deluxe segment in the last six months but things have improved after April. We are ready to host the guests during games and there will be no shortage of rooms, he adds.
