Sharat Dhall, Managing Director, TripAdvisor India said, “Online hotel bookings are growing rapidly in India and featuring TripAdvisor hotel reviews will help reduce the uncertainty around booking even the lesser known hotels in hundreds of tourist destinations across India. Online travel agents around the world and in India as well, have featured TripAdvisor hotel reviews and reported increased conversion in hotel bookings.”

In a short span of time, TripAdvisor has not only grown to become one of the leading travel websites in the country, with more than two million monthly unique Indian visitors, but also has the largest pool of real traveller reviews on Indian hotels.
