AGRA: A day after the government announced visa curbs on travellers from Italy, Iran , South Korea and Japan , Agra five-stars have decided not to honour bookings made by tourists from these countries, reports Anuja Jaiswal.

Industry sources said the decision was also influenced by the district authorities’ decision that hotels would be sealed for a few days if any foreigner staying in such establishments tests positive for coronavirus. A hotelier said they couldn’t afford such a closure. . “We will make full refunds,” he said. Meanwhile, the Indian Association of Tour Operators has approached the UP government urging it to direct hotels to honour bookings already made.
