Innkeepers born in India have had a significant impact on America’s motel business, primarily because they were willing to relocate to smaller cities and rural areas. Since every small community across the country today has at least one or two hotels, a great deal of that success can be pointed to Indian immigrants. There are challenges faced by Indian business owners in these situations because these isolated communities can make it challenging to market their companies.

Many successful Indian innkeepers have taken on innovative approaches in order to ensure that their business is prepared. For example, one of the most common practices was placing a dryer and washer in a room behind the lobby. This meant that an individual working the front desk could make sure that all the towels and sheets were ready for the next day. 

Many Indian innkeepers have also economized by doing the majority of the upkeep themselves. Planning ahead for business succession and business protection is important for all individuals who own a motel or a hotel.
