[2] Visitors to heritage sites in Kanchipuram and Mahabalipuram and medical tourists make up the largest number of visitors to the city, chiefly from the United States, the United Kingdom, Sri Lanka, Malaysia and Singapore. [4] [ failed verification ] In 2011, Chennai was ranked 41st in global top 100 city destination ranking, with 3,174,500 tourists, a 14 percent increase from 2010, [5] and up from 2,059,900 tourists in 2009. [6] In 2012, Chennai served 3,535,200 foreign tourists, ranking as the 38th most visited city in the world and the most visited city in India. [7]

As of 2012, the city had 21 luxury hotels in the five-star category, with over 4,500 rooms in the inventory. [8] As of 2018, the collective luxury room inventory across four and five-star categories was around 7,000. [9] About 85 percent of the room demand in Chennai comes from business travellers. Demand in the central business district comes mainly from BFSI and PSU companies, while the demand in the southern side of the city (Old Mahabalipuram Road) comes from information technology (IT)/IT-enabled services (ITeS) companies. Proximity to electronics and the auto industry players in and around the Sriperumbudur area in the west side of the city creates demand for hotels near the Chennai airport area among business travellers. [10]

Chennai offers the world’s most affordable five-star hotel rooms. According to a 2021 survey by LuxuryHotel.com, it is the least expensive city for a five-star stay in the world, with a baseline for a five-star room being ₹ 3,530 (34 UK pounds).
