Vijayawada hotels see low occupancy despite rush for Dasara and two other events
Hotels in Vijayawada have low occupancy despite an influx of visitors for Dasara and two other events. Hoteliers report that most pilgrims leave the city by evening, so they do not stay overnight. While the festival draws large crowds, demand for rooms remains weak, impacting hotel revenues. Hotel owners had anticipated higher bookings, but the brief visits limited revenue growth.
