Tamara Leisure Experiences Charts Ambitious 2030 Expansion with Nine New Properties Across India

Expansion Aligned with Evolving Travel Trends

Tamara Leisure Experiences has outlined a significant growth roadmap under its 2030 vision, announcing plans to launch nine new hospitality projects across India between 2028 and 2030. The expansion spans leisure, business, experiential, and faith-led hospitality segments, reflecting changing traveller preferences and rising demand for destination-led stays.

The group aims to strengthen its presence in high-potential markets while introducing new formats that blend sustainability, wellness, and technology-driven guest engagement.

Upcoming Projects Under the 2030 Vision

The upcoming pipeline includes

• The Tamara Kaziranga – A luxury eco-resort

• The Tamara Alleppey – An ultra-luxury houseboat concept

• The Tamara Hosur – A farm-based experiential retreat

• O by Tamara in Bodh Gaya and Whitefield

• Lilac Hotels expansion to Velankanni, Kufri and Kannur

• Kalyana Mandapam in Madurai, marking entry into the wedding segment

Eight projects will follow the owned-asset model, while Kufri represents the group’s first asset-light signing. All properties are scheduled to become operational between 2028 and 2030.

Entering the Faith-Led Hospitality Segment

With India’s faith-driven tourism estimated to exceed USD 200 billion in value, Tamara is selectively entering this fast-growing category. Destinations such as Bodh Gaya and Velankanni reflect the group’s strategic alignment with pilgrimage and spiritual travel circuits.

Sustainability, Wellness and Technology at the Core

The expansion strategy is built on three pillars: destination-first development, thoughtful technology integration, and responsible hospitality. Each project is designed to reflect local culture and geography while embedding sustainable construction practices, community engagement, and long-term value creation.

Industry Context and Market Momentum

India’s hospitality and tourism sector is projected to approach USD 60 billion by 2028, supported by infrastructure upgrades, policy incentives, and a surge in domestic travel. With domestic trips expected to near 5.2 billion by 2030, diversified hospitality formats are gaining traction across leisure, urban, and spiritual destinations.

Tamara Leisure Experiences currently operates eight hotels and one AYUSH hospital across India, positioning itself for its next growth chapter with a diversified and future-ready portfolio.
