Govt for more budget hotels in country

KANPUR: To give an impetus to the tourism industry in India, Union Tourism and Housing minister Kumari Selja today called for construction of more budget hotels in the country.

"There are many five star hotels in the country but limited budget hotels. Only foreigners and rich people can afford these five star hotels," Selja said during the Foundation day function of an NGO.

"Since middle class is a potential segment for the tourism industry, we should focus more on them and try to provide them with good lodging facilities," she added.
