Threats
· Guest houses replace the hotels. This is
a growing trend in the west and is now
catching up in India also, thus diverting
the hotel traffic.
· Political turbulence in the area reduces
tourist traffic and thus the business of
the hotels. In India examples of the
same are Insurgency in Jammu Kashmir
and the Kargil war.
