Kolkata, Nov. 27

Hotel and tourism industry appeared to be shocked by the terrorist attacks in Mumbai. Mr S.S. Mukherji, Managing Director of Oberoi Hotels, told Business Line that at this moment we are not assessing impact of the developments on our sales or future bookings; now uppermost in our mind is the safety and security of the guests and staff members. “After the crisis is over we would like to take a look at the damages to the business. But it is not just the hotel and travel industry, one needs to see the impact these dastardly events on the safety and security of the country and economy as a whole,” he added. In an official note, the company said: “We all are deeply saddened by the tragic events in Mumbai. We are very concerned about the safety of our guests and staff at the hotels in Mumbai. Our thoughts are with their families. We are monitoring the situation closely and we are extending all our cooperation to the police and government authorities. The safety of our guests and staff remains our primary concern”. —
