In 2020, when the covid pandemic swept across the world, and brought it to a hardstop and a standstill, almost all major sectors across the business board suffered.

The Resurgence

But there was one sector, which arguably had one of the worst periods of absolute obliteration, and it was the travel and hospitality sector. This is because the very model of the business flew in the face of steps needed to stop the pandemic.

Nearly 5 years later, many companies have managed to pick up the broken pieces and revive their world around.

And when we look at the performance of the top hospitality stocks in India, the progress made in the recent past is pretty evident. This progress is also about bringing home some major returns to the investors as well.

Indian Hotels Company Ltd

On top we have the Tata Group's Indian Hotels. The hospitality company's stock has risen by a whopping 97.46 per cent or Rs 425.45.

This has taken the overall value of the shares, of the owners of the Taj Hotel chains to Rs 862.00 per share for the investor.
