T20 WC final: Ahmedabad hotel prices skyrocket
India
Heading to Ahmedabad for the India vs. New Zealand T20 World Cup final on March 8?
Get ready for steep hotel rates: rooms around ₹15,000 to ₹80,000 a night and are expected to cross ₹1 lakh after India's big win over England.
Hotels are filling up fast, so last-minute deals may be hard to find.
Hotels, restaurants, and tourism feel the buzz
The match is giving Ahmedabad's hospitality scene a serious boost. Narendra Somani from the local hotels association says this crowd is helping hotels hit their usual March numbers.
There's also a ripple effect for restaurants and tourism, according to Sanjeev Chhajer from the Chamber of Commerce.
With occupancy around 80%, some hotels have even dropped cancelation options as bookings pour in.
