New Delhi, Oct 30 (UNI) In a bid to boost tourism in the national capital, the Delhi Government on Wednesday approved round-the-clock operations for restaurants and food outlets in Aerocity, a prominent hospitality hub near Delhi Airport, an official statement said.
Chief Minister Atishi granted approval, allowing these establishments to remain open 24 hours a day, it added.
This move aims to boost Delhi's revenue. As a major tourist destination, Delhi has significant potential for revenue growth, and with this decision, an increase in revenue through licensing fees is anticipated.
"The proposal was made to allow food outlets and restaurants in Aerocity, near Delhi Airport, to operate 24x7 with the goal of enhancing government revenue," the statement said.
Notably, restaurants in Gurugram are already permitted extended hours in exchange for additional fees, which has contributed to revenue growth there. Some 4-star and higher-rated hotels in Aerocity already operate 24 hours a day.
Following this model, the Delhi Government is set to allow 24x7 operations for restaurants and food outlets in Aerocity, which will not only improve services for tourists but also boost government revenue.
