Industry Status for Star-Classified Hotels of Karnataka

Karnataka is one of the top states for tourism in India, ranking 4th among Indian states for both domestic tourist visits and foreign tourists visits in 2022. Karnataka has hundreds of tourism destinations across a range of themes including heritage, spiritual, nature, wildlife, coastal, and adventure. Tourism is a key sector of Karnataka’s economy, contributing significantly to the State’s GSDP and providing employment for lakhs of people across the State. The strong economy and tourism sector of the State along with excellent transport infrastructure and good connectivity have led to a strong growth of the hospitality sector in Karnataka, focused primarily in Bengaluru, Mysuru, Hampi, Kodagu, Mangalore, Vijayapura, Udupi and Hubballi-Dharwad.
Considering the above opportunities, the Government of Karnataka has notified benefits providing fiscal incentives equivalent to industry status to star classified hotels in Karnataka. This measure is expected to not only boost and attract more investment and development of the hospitality sector in Karnataka but will also help the tourism and hospitality industry to sustain and emerge from the challenges posed by the Covid-19 pandemic. Government Order CI 86 SPI 2021 dated 04.03.2021 was issued making the star-classified hotels of Karnataka eligible for the following benefits –
