  "Indian travelers are stepping up to fill part of the gap left by lower visitation from China, Japan, and South Korea," said Laura Lee Blake, CEO of the Asian American Hotel Owners Association, members of which own 60% of the hotels in the United States.

The article from U.S. News discusses how U.S. hotels are adapting to a surge in Indian tourists by incorporating Indian cultural elements into their services. With India becoming the third-largest economy and its outbound travel market expanding, hotels are offering amenities like Indian cuisine, including chai and samosas, and rooms tailored to Indian preferences such as firm beds and bidets. This trend is driven by the need to cater to the growing number of Indian tourists, who are now the second-largest group of international visitors to the U.S. after China. Hotels are also focusing on understanding and meeting the cultural and dietary needs of these tourists to enhance their experience and boost revenue. The article highlights specific examples like the JW Marriott in San Francisco, which has introduced Indian-inspired menus and cultural events to attract and retain Indian guests.
