Occupancy in hotels in Delhi during CWG 2010

The very utterance of the name of the capital city of India Delhi creates a world of wonder and ecstasy at the moment. The grand happening of the Commonwealth Games 2010 with great success is still a talk of the town not only in India but also across the world. The two weeks of intense sporting action led to the witnessing of records being broken and emergence of new stars. CWG 2010 brought 6,700 athletes, officials, and spectators from 71 nations; man-made splendor is so beautifully exhibited in the opening and closing ceremonies with sophistication and ultra modern facilities in the venues and CWG Games Village that the whole world has appreciated India. A blend of laser shows, traditional martial arts, cultural performances, military bands created a milieu in the opening and closing ceremonies thrilled the spectators.

India ranked second in the CWG 2010 medals tally after Australia. With 38 gold, 27 silver, and 36 bronze, totaling 101 medals, India has no doubt emerged as a sports power too.

During the Games period, the hotels in Delhi did not witness cent percent occupancy; the five star Delhi hotels accommodated more of Games tourists rather than leisure or business tourists. With most people aware about traffic congestions with city roads in part dedicated to the CWG 2010 vehicle traffic, the five star hotels Delhi did witness a drop in the occupancy levels. Compared to October of the preceding year, these Delhi hotels including budget hotels in Delhi have seen low revenue flowing in. Corporate clients who have done advanced booking in the five star hotels in Delhi, made cancellations citing traffic congestion and non-happening of serious business.

Of course CWG has elevated the status of Delhi in particular and India in general in the world map. And with athletes, delegates, and spectators from 71 nations participating and also taking sight seeing trips, future tourism prospects are bright. It is for a period of two weeks that Delhi hotels did not make business up to expectations but the coming days will certainly favor the hospitality sector in the capital city!
