Prayagraj Hotel Bookings Plummet 25% After Tragic Stampede

In the wake of a devastating stampede during the Maha Kumbh Mela in Prayagraj, hotel owners report a staggering 25% cancellation rate for bookings. The incident, which resulted in at least 30 fatalities and numerous injuries, has left visitors apprehensive about safety, leading many to withdraw their reservations. This downturn is impacting not only hotels but also local restaurants and travel services, as the influx of pilgrims diminishes significantly. As the situation stabilizes, some guests are cautiously rebooking their stays.
