Self-Regulation is Essential for the Indian Hotel Industry to Build Credibility and Trust
The tragic news of the murder of a young employee at a resort in Rishikesh last month tarnished the Indian hotel sector, which is recovering strongly from the pandemic. This prompted a verification drive to inspect all the hotels, resorts, and homestays in the area for violations of rules and regulations, as well as the closure of properties that did. There is no denying that rules and regulations must be strictly followed or there will be serious consequences. The recent fatal fire incident at a hotel in Lucknow, which occurred allegedly due to insufficient fire safety measures, serves as a case in point.
