Low-Cost Accommodation Delhi, Paharganj, Karol Bagh

Experts at the recently concluded Delhi Tourism Conclave said that hotels in the middle and upper segments have received a lot of attention for the Commonwealth Games 2010, but low-cost accommodation is required in order to cater to the domestic tourists.
K T Ravindran, Chairman, Delhi Urban Art Commission said, “There is a need to create low-cost hotels and re-look the existing hotel accommodation in Paharganj, Karol Bagh and other areas.”
Ravindran said, “The Commonwealth Games, besides attracting foreign tourists, will also attract domestic tourists, especially youngsters, from the various states. I suggest that at the entry point of Delhi, maybe at the highways, there could be temporary live-in facilities like dormitories with an eating area and toilets. There could be a park and ride facility to the city and to the games venues.”
According to a IANS report, V K Verma, Director General, Organising Committee of the Commonwealth Games, informed the conclave that they are in talks with hotels for ‘reasonably priced’ travel packages for the benefit of backpackers and other tourists during the games.
