The Mandir Collection is Summit Hotels & Resorts’ first venture into the rapidly expanding spiritual tourism market in India. The brand will cater to pilgrims and those seeking spiritually uplifting vacations.

The debut occurs as the demand for faith-based and wellness-led vacations is on the rise, thanks to greater connectivity, better infrastructure, and a general uptick in interest in cultural and spiritual experiences. The company has chosen Salasar in Rajasthan to be the first property under the new brand as part of its growth. Congregants, families, wellness tourists, and those organised by destinations will all find a home at the soon-to-be-built Summit Salasar—The Mandir Collection, a first-rate spiritual retreat.

Approximately 70 rooms and villas, some with private pools, will be available at the resort. With easy proximity to the Salasar Balaji Temple, planned amenities include a Satvik dining concept, wellness experiences, wellness services, wellness programs, banquet halls, outdoor event spaces, and devotional evening programs.

“Spiritual travel in India is experiencing a massive boom, with nearly 1 in 5 Indians planning faith-based or wellness trips,” commented Summit Hotels & Resorts CEO Sumit Mitruka, who was commenting on the opening. Travellers nowadays are drawn to pilgrimage sites not just for their religious significance, but also for the opportunity to interact with nature, learn about other cultures, and rejuvenate themselves. We aim to provide hospitality experiences that remain anchored in the spirit of the destination while giving the comfort and quality modern travellers demand through The Mandir Collection. India’s spiritual tourism economy is predicted to reach $135 billion by 2034.

The Mandir Collection will soon be extended by Summit Hotels & Resorts to other faith-led locations and pilgrimage circuits. As part of its larger strategy for growth, the organization is also exploring potential in Haridwar, Ayodhya, and other developing centers for spiritual tourism.
