The Association has appealed the administration to come to the rescue of tourism fraternity, viz., hoteliers and dhaba-wallas, travel agents, dealers of shawls and dry fruits and particularly budget hoteliers as all of them have great expectations from the government. Gupta said that government should do away with the imposition of weekend lockdowns as there is a sharp decline in corona cases and this step would certainly give a boost to the business activities especially the tourism trade. |
