Taj Hotels will soon begin a new experience at their properties titled ‘Divinity Trails at the Taj.’ It will take place across key destinations in India. Estimates suggest that spiritual or religious tourism in India equals 60% of total domestic tourism. Taj Hotels have properties at key locations like Tirupati, Varanasi, Amritsar, Madurai, and Rishikesh. This allows them to capture the demand at these key spiritual destinations.

It has a huge footprint in cities of spiritual significance including Nashik, Ajmer, Katra, and Dwarka with a footprint of 32 hotels in 17 significant locations across India with over 4,000 rooms.
