Hotels, travel trade, bus operators, and KSRTC take the brunt
The restrictions imposed to contain the second wave of COVID-19 in the State have hit hotels, travel trade, event management companies, bus operators, and the Kerala State Road Transport Corporation that have been limping back to normality post lockdown.
The travel trade, expecting a good footfall during summer months, is the worst hit.
“Inquiries have stopped reaching reservation desks of hotels and resorts. Almost all hotels and resorts are deserted now. The limiting of stay of tourists to seven days and insistence on RT-PCR tests by over a dozen States for those returning from the State have played spoilsport,” says former president of the Association of Tourism Trade Organisations, India, Anish Kumar P.K.
