Various stakeholders of the tourism industry on Monday staged a protest in Moonjikal in Kodaikanal against the State government’s decision to ban tourists to the hill station. The members of various associations urged the government to lift the ban on tourists.
With the increase in the number of cases, the State government imposed the ban on the entry of tourists to hill stations like Yercaud, Kodaikanal and Udhagamandalam in order to contain the spread of COVID-19 pandemic.
The members of the hotel owners, traders and other associations of Kodaikanal said that the people of the hill station were dependent on tourism. The months of April and May were the peak months for tourism in Kodaikanal, they said.
