The tourism sector — which is one of the key economic drivers of Mysuru – and had pinned hopes on an early recovery after the downturn due to the pandemic, is in doldrums again.
Incessant rains since the second week of August washed away any gains made since early this year when the pandemic came under semblance of control.
The hospitality sector is among the worst affected though the stakeholders are keeping their fingers crossed and hoping that the prolonged rains will end soon and bring the tourists back to the city again.
