Delhi Hotel & Restaurant Owners’ Association, an umbrella organisation of budget and guest house owners in Delhi, has raised concerns on the indifference of the state’s various government agencies shown towards their issues on matters like licencing, kitchen-cum-dining hall for in-house guests, raised by them almost a year ago. As pr the Association this apathy will adversely impact their operations especially during the Commonwealth Games 2010.
The Association has once again decided to approach different departments of the government, like Ministry of Tourism, Delhi government, Municipal Corporation of Delhi with their list of demands. Sandeep Khandelwal, President, Delhi Hotel & Restaurant Owners’ Association said, “It would be better if we close down our guest houses during the Games rather than bringing bad name to the country by not offering the facilities which an international traveller would be looking from us.”
Furthermore, the Association wants the renewal period of licences to be raised from present one year to three years. |
