City-based hotels report significant drop in business
Hotels in the city are beginning to feel the heat with the restrictive timings enforced by the government in the wake of the suspected second wave of COVID-19 dealing a hammer blow to an already beleaguered industry. The Kerala Hotel and Restaurants Association (KHRA) said the sign of things in store was evident in the significant drop in business city-based hotels had during Vishu. This, the association said, had been the case for the last couple of days ever since the government declared that hotels and shops should down shutters at 9 p.m. “This being the Ramzan month, a large number of hotels only open in the evening and then having to close down at 9 p.m. severely hampers their business,” said Azees Musa, Ernakulam district president, KHRA.
