Tourism makes up about 12 to 14 percent of Rajasthan’s economy, based on industry estimates. Over 7.5 million people work in this sector. Recent reports of increasing Covid-19 cases have hurt hotel bookings in Rajasthan, even though the new strain is considered mild.
Gaurav Khandelwal, a travel agent, said, “The return of coronavirus is lowering the number of tourists in Rajasthan. Hotel bookings are falling steadily. Because of this, the monsoon tourism season from July to September might not be fully used.
