“The market has opened up and people are travelling both domestically and internationally. Competition has grown and now there are more hotels in a place as compared to before. More importantly, this Summer, there were less weddings in India as compared to last year, which resulted in high pressure and price war. In such a scenario, a brand like Ananta, who is known for luxury, quality, open spaces and value for money was able to retain its share of business, all because of its vast base of loyal customers.
