Amid the first signs of a slowdown in the foreign tourist arrivals in the country because of the global financial crisis, the Government on Wednesday asked hotels to cut down on their room tariffs as an incentive to tourists coming to India.
The representatives of hotel associations raised some of their outstanding demands such as infrastructure status for hotels, delinking of hotels from real estate, external commercial borrowings and the problem of Floor Area Ration that has been extended by the Ministry of Urban Development to the hoteliers in Delhi at high development charges.
The sudden slowdown being observed for the last two months has been attributed to a sharp decline in the tourist arrivals in Delhi and Mumbai, which together account for more than 50 per cent of the incoming tourist traffic.
