Strong growth across diverse market segments
2026 has been a significant year of growth and consolidation for Indeva Hotels & Resorts, with revenue increasing by 38% year-on-year and occupancy growing by 15%. Our diversified demand mix spans airline crew accommodation, corporate travel, MICE, exhibitions, social events and transient travellers. We look beyond occupancy alone, focusing on quality revenue, stronger average room rates and segment profitability. Our priority is to build on this momentum through stronger partnerships, sharper commercial strategies, consistent service delivery and operational excellence.
Building a distinctive multi-brand hospitality portfolio
Expansion is central to our long-term vision of building a scalable, multi-brand hospitality platform. Our portfolio includes ExpoInn Suites & Convention for MICE, Shikina Luxury Collection for premium hospitality, PLUME Hotels for contemporary stays, The Mor Stays for value-conscious travellers, Sāraṅga Retreats for destination experiences and IRISE for additional opportunities. Supported by an asset-light approach and strategic partnerships, we are also exploring facility upgrades, improved dining concepts and technology-led guest services, ensuring growth without compromising operational standards or guest satisfaction.
Embedding sustainability into everyday operations
We view sustainability as essential to responsible hospitality and operational efficiency. A 2 MW solar power plant serving the wider facility reduces dependence on conventional electricity, while a 5,000-litre-per-hour solar water-heating system supports energy-efficient operations. LED lighting, motion sensors, digital timers and tap aerators further improve resource management. Our approach focuses on practical improvements that deliver measurable benefits. As we expand, we aim to strengthen resource monitoring and responsible consumption while maintaining comfortable, seamless and memorable guest experiences.
Hospitality Outlook 2027
Looking ahead to 2027, we are optimistic about opportunities in organised hospitality, particularly across corporate, MICE, exhibition and emerging leisure markets. Personalisation, technology-enabled convenience and operational excellence will increasingly shape guest expectations. Our focus is on strengthening existing properties, advancing multi-brand expansion and improving revenue management capabilities. Technology must complement genuine human engagement. Ultimately, we believe sustainable success will come through disciplined growth, differentiated brand positioning, lasting partnerships and consistent value for owners, investors and travellers alike.
