No tourists in sight – Commonwealth Games and Tourism
28 August 2010
Anubha Rohatgi, New Delhi:
CWG scheduled to be held in Delhi in Oct 2010 is hopeful of drawing a large number of tourists. BBC News Hindi interviewed people from the Hotel Trade Association, B&B & Guest House Owners and EQUATIONS to get a perspective on the situation and reasons why the tourists are still not in sight.

EQUATIONS is a research, policy, and advocacy organisation working on tourism and development issues in India. Our work has focused on the economic, environmental, social, cultural, political and administrative impacts of tourism particularly on people living in and around tourism destinations. We collaborate closely with organisations and peoples movements, to influence people-centered forms of tourism & policies that ensure significant local benefits and take into account the negative impacts of an unbridled growth of tourism.
