It has been slow going for Paul, even in an industry that’s grown at a modest pace. Seen as the face of the boutique hotel segment, she will need to come up with new concepts (like The Zone) to maintain her place. The Park hotels managed to post growth of 10%, in line with the industry average. Going ahead, she is likely to face tough times, as ratings agency ICRA, in a recent report, has predicted that growth in the hospitality industry will slow to 7% to 8% in the next 18 months.
