Tourists have been thronging Himachal Pradesh as the heatwave has hit the plains and the second wave of COVID-19 seeing a significant decline in the country. The occupancy in the hotels has increased in the past few days but it has yet to reach its peak, said Mohinder Seth, president of Tourism Industry Stakeholder Association. Asserting that the hoteliers have been following Covid protocol in their premises for over a year, Sood hoped that the number of tourists would further increase in the coming days. A tourist, Nikita Kukreja, said the majority of the visitors were seen following Covid protocol. As and when they see any tourist not wearing a mask, they warn that tourist to properly follow Covid protocol,” she said.
