Ahmedabad: Travelers throughout Gujarat, Irked with the decision of the state government to continue to impose 150 people at the wedding held indoors.
The government has provided up to 300 people for events held in outside places.
According to the Ambus Hotel, it will lead to unfair competition between venue owners who operate the indoor and outdoor space and eat into the hospitality business and banquet hall players.
Narendra Somani, President, Hotels and Restaurants Association (HRA), Gujarat, said, “Owners of Sommay and Banquet Hall will be a big loss with this government’s decision.
The rules must be made uniform so that there are no unfair benefits given to parts of industrial players.
Already struggling with steep income with the third wave of Covid-19 cases and such rules will further flex their business.
We have been looking for an appointment with Gujarat’s head minister, Bhupendra Patel, to represent the problem on the name of the hotel industry.
“With marriage which is limited to 150 people , the business volume is lost by the owner of an indoor place.
“Since January, when restrictions to gather, the volume remains down.
Pelangi did not get enough margins when serving a smaller crowd.
However, we hope that when cases begin to recede further, the government will begin to relieve restrictions,” Jay said Sudhakaran, General Manager, Novotel Ahmedabad.
The hospitality sector is one of the worst blows with the income and profitability of the company that falls.
It barely started recovering to December, when again hit by delaying Gujarat Global Summit (VGGS).
“We have lost an estimated 50% of income due to Cancellation of VGGS 2022.
Other corporate travelers who are not related to the event have also canceled their travel plans with our income tanning,” said Neelabh Chugh, General Manager, Renaissance Ahmedabad Hotel.
