The tourism industry in Jaisalmer, crippled by the Covid-19 pandemic, has taken a novel initiative to boost tourism. Alarmed at Spicejet stopping flight operations to Jaislamer, the tourist industry has offered to reimburse the airline for its losses.
Spicejet recently stopped operations to Jaisalmer due to poor traffic on the Delhi-Jaisalmer and Jaisalmer-Ahmedabad routes. Worried at the prospect of a further slide in tourist traffic, around 100 representatives from the hospitality sector, travel and tours associations, tourist guides associations, tent owners association and handicrafts associations worked out a unique solution.
