Hotels clash with Gov over CWG hotel room rates

With the Commonwealth Games (CWG) around the corner, Delhi hoteliers and the tourism ministry are clashing over room rates.

The tourism ministry had asked hoteliers to bring down rates by 15% to 50%, depending upon the categories. While many hotels agreed to slash rates, several are not in favour of reducing it during the Games.

The tourism ministry expects over 100,000 tourists to visit Delhi during the CWG.

The tourists coming to Delhi for the Games would be exempted from ‘luxury tax’, if they book through the Games Travel Office, run by travel company Le Passage to India.

Meanwhile, the Federation of Hotels and Restaurants Association of India, said that it would extend full support to the government, but their demands should also be met.
