This refers to Shine Jacob’s report “US hotel chain to enter education” (January 17). The entry of Best Western International into India’s education sector will increase competition among existing players and ultimately benefit consumers. Indeed our impressive GDP growth, sizeable population and fairly educated workforce are playing a significant role in attracting international investments. But the fact that India has remained largely unaffected by the global slowdown makes it a more attractive investment destination. Best Western’s foray into the country’s booming hospitality industry will not only reap profits for the company but will also go a long way in providing better services and more options to consumers.
