Tourism stakeholders await govt. decision on Dasara
The Hindu
They expect revival of fortunes only next year
Ahead of the high powered committee meeting on Dasara slated to be held in Bengaluru on Friday, stakeholders in the hospitality and tourism sector in Mysuru are keeping their fingers crossed over its outcome. Even if the government agrees for a ‘meaningful’ Dasara with thrust on tradition, it is likely to be a low-key affair and hence stakeholders in the hospitality sector aver that the bulk of the crowd this year may only be locals drawn from Mysuru and surrounding areas. This, they opine, will not have any bearing on the fortunes of the tourism and hospitality sector which generates at least 80,000 direct jobs. Narayana Gowda of the Hotel Owners Association said for the sector to thrive outstation tourists are a must as it results in spending which helps revive the economy. Almost 40 per cent of the tourists to Mysuru are from Kerala which is witnessing a surge and hence no tourists can be expected in the immediate future from that State, he added.More Related News
