It’s raining money for Ahmedabad hotels, thanks to World Cup matches & India-Pakistan clash
One of the biggest events of the cricket world, the ICC ODI Cricket World Cup is going to be held in India later this year in October-November but the hotels of some cities especially Ahmedabad are already scoring good. As per the reports, the rooms for which customers needed to pay Rs. 5K-10K per night are now getting booked for a whopping amount of Rs. 50K-1 Lakh for the match days.
The tournament will start on 5 October with New Zealand (finalist of the 2019 World Cup) and England (winner of the 2019 World Cup) clashing against each other at Narendra Modi Stadium, Ahmedabad and reports suggest that 60-90 percent of the hotel rooms of 5-star hotels are already booked for the match days.
Punit Baijal, the general manager of Hyatt Regency, Ahmedabad told a news agency, “About 80% (rooms) for the match days are sold. For the opening ceremony, and the first match between England and New Zealand, bookings have already been made by travel agencies from England and major corporations.”
There is no denying the fact that Ahmedabad will be jam-packed for the match between India and Pakistan which will be played on 15 October at Narendra Modi Stadium.
The General Manager of ITC Narmada, Keenan McKenzie stated, “There is also great traction for the match between India and Pakistan, likely on October 15. Bookings have already been made for the October 13-16 period and hotel rooms in the city are expected to be sold out on most match days.”
He further added, “Inquiries are pouring in from international cricket groups, fans as well as sponsors. VVIPs are likely to make a beeline, too.”
The Hotel industry of Ahmedabad will surely earn well during the ODI World Cup 2023 as the city is going to host 5 matches.
Good times are coming!!!!
