SUB: FHRAI SURVEY ON ACCESSIBLE TOURISM GUIDELINES OF INDIA BY MINISTRY OF TOURISM
Dear Member,
We wish to inform you that the Ministry of Tourism, Government of India is in the process of formulating 'Accessible Tourism Guidelines of India' to provide a holistic approach for creating a universally accessible and inclusive tourism facilities.
By the way of these Guidelines, the government is planning to make it mandatory for all star category hotels to make minimum of five per cent (5%) rooms as universally accessible. The smaller establishment having less than 20 rooms would be required to have minimum Two (2 No.) such rooms.
We feel that such a provision would put additional cost implications and inconveniences for the hospitality sector. FHRAI is planning to approach the Ministry of Tourism to highlight that this proposal is not viable for the sector in the current scenario.
In order to validate our request, we need to provide relevant facts and figures on this issue to the Ministry of Tourism.
With this objective, we have created a short survey format for gathering information from our members on the subject matter. The data collected through the survey would help FHRAI to present the concerns of the hospitality sector in an effective way.
The survey form can be accessed in a hassle-free manner by clicking on the link below-:

Members are requested to fill the survey by Monday, 18th July 2022. For any queries, kindly contact Mr. Abhishek Kumar at asg@fhrai.com / 7503023330.
With best regards,
Jaison Chacko
Secretary General
