IPL brings hundreds of cricket players from across the globe, coaches, and other top officials from world cricket. They would take accommodation in the star hotels of the city in which the match is supposed to be held. Also IPL would bring millions of fans from across the world. This would have put a significant boost in revenues to the tourism and hospitality industry in India. But, unfortunately due to security concerns it got shifted to South Africa. This has resulted in heavy revenue losses for large hotel chains and other hospitality providers.
