DHARAMSHALA: Due to this the hotel occupancy has also soared bringing a smile on the faces of hoteliers.
At many places -- including in the capital Shimla -- some hotels are already sold out for New Year's eve.
In Shimla, the hotel occupancy is expected to be around 100% on New Year, while in Manali it is likely to hover around 80%. Adviser of Shimla hotels and tourism stakeholders association Anil Walia said, "The hotel occupancy is at the highest at this time and we expect it to be around 100% on New Year in Shimla and surrounding areas."
"This is after many years that we have received snowfall in December. Though the New Year is on Tuesday (mid-week), a lot of people are still coming because of the recent snowfall," Walia said.
