Despite modest APAC growth held back by shaky Chinese consumer confidence, India and North Asia surge with double-digit gains.

They’re eyeing religious tourism hotspots like Ayodhya and Tirupati — where local owners fund construction but invite Hilton to manage. The company plans 60 new hotels now, aiming for 400 more, shifting focus to mid-scale brands like Hampton and Spark to capture domestic travelers in smaller cities, tapping into India’s booming middle class and travel appetite.
