Key Points
"Ayodhya is poised to transform into a global tourism hub over the next couple of years with an anticipated 3-4 lakh daily visitors," said Yeshab Giri, chief commercial officer, staffing and Randstad technologies, at Randstad India...
A surge in tourist inflows has already increased demand for accommodation and travel, "leading to a significant upswing in Ayodhya's hospitality sector, with a particular focus on the establishment of adequate infrastructure to host travellers", he said.. Randstad anticipates 20,000-25,000 permanent and temporary jobs to be created with the numbers increasing every year..
According to several officials in the hospitality sector, thousands of jobs in areas such as hospitality managers, restaurant and hotel staff, logistics managers, drivers, etc are likely to open up towards the end of this year or the first half of 2025 - not just in Ayodhya but in neighbouring cities like Lucknow, Kanpur, Gorakhpur, etc - with hotel companies and restaurant owners keeping a close eye on how the demand-supply situation pans out.. "In the next three-four months, we should get a clearer picture of the everyday traffic at the temple and the demand for manpower to cater to the devotees," an industry executive said...

Typically, a hotel from construction stage to getting operational takes 3-4 years, said Nandivardhan Jain, CEO of Noesis Capital Advisors..
"Many hotel companies are taking a wait and watch approach," he said.. Rajeev Kale, president and country head, holidays, MICE, visa, at Thomas Cook (India), said the excitement over the Ram Temple inauguration has boosted temple tourism across consumer segments - "from our business travellers (corporates and SMEs), families, couples to young India"...
