New Delhi, Sept 28 : Delhi would struggle to meet the requirement of 18,000 hotel rooms to host foreign tourists during the 2010 Commonwealth Games, according to a report published by a global hotel investment service firm.
Jones Lang LaSalle Hotels (JLLH) said in its latest report, "The Commonwealth Games in 2010 is expected to attract 50,000 foreign visitors to Delhi ... approximately 30,000 rooms will be required to accommodate these visitors.”
At present, the National Capital Region (NCR) has about 10,500 rooms and an additional 15,000 to 18,000 rooms are required to take care of the foreign tourist inflow during the event. But, only 7,400 rooms are coming up in the NCR between 2008 and 2010, the report added.
