Letters Domestic tourism
This is with reference to your editorial "Incredible Opportunity" (Business Line, February 19). While it is true that the `Incredible India' campaign by the Government has resulted in substantial inflow of foreign tourists into our country, the step-motherly treatment meted out to domestic tourists is appalling. Most hotels categorised as three- or four-star charge astronomical room rentals, with very few facilities to warrant the high tariff. All any tourist, domestic or foreign, wants is a decent room, clean sheets and bathrooms, and hygienic, simple and tasty food, at affordable prices. Instead, domestic tourists, who would prefer budget hotels, have to put up with seedy joints that even the most hardened traveller would avoid. It is time the Tourism Department put in place a regulatory body to monitor such hotels and make sure they do not fleece the ordinary traveller. Sharath Ahuja Bengalooru
