Hoteliers in AP facing tough times due to low occupancy

Deccan Chronicle  

Vijayawada:Hoteliers in Andhra Pradesh are facing a tough time due to low occupancy; many of them are even running in losses. A major component of their expenses is power, which comes to nearly ₹10–15 lakh per month for some. Hoteliers say patronage for function halls and banquet halls is dwindling, as people are preferring hotels which can offer food for ₹1,000 per plate. Hoteliers say lack of such facilities in Vijayawada and other cities and towns of AP is having its impact on the occupancy of their hotels.
