The alarming surge of Covid-19 cases in the Taj city, one patient every ten minutes, 242 cases on Wednesday including politicians and officials, has hit the tourism industry hard which was only beginning to limp back to some kind of normalcy in January and February.
The number of visitors to the Taj Mahal and other monuments has dropped to a trickle.
The sudden slump in the arrivals has affected travel agencies, photographers, guides and other service providers. The tourism complex is deserted and the hotel occupancy rate has come down to below 50 percent.
