In the past couple of decades, the tourism industry has grown to new heights and the number of restaurants and hotels in such tourist places has also increased many folds. Here are some reasons why having an establishment in a tourist location is a bad idea. 1. Off seasons are

1. Off seasons are nonprofitable

Most tourist places are hot businesses during a particular time of the year like, Srinagar is very popular during summers but hardly anyone visits it during monsoons and winters. So, during off seasons, your restaurant/hotel will struggle.

2. Finding qualified employees is a challenge

Its very difficult to find trained employees for you to hire in such tourist places. You generally have to outsource these employees from other cities which increases the cost and it takes some time for them to get used to the place.

3. Your restaurants have to match tourist food habits

Tourists go to a place because it’s different than their own city and they want to experience a change in their environment. But not so much that they would want to completely change their food habits. For example, all the restaurants in Goa will also serve North Indian cuisines also. So, your hotel or restaurant will have to serve a variety of cuisines and that will increase the effort and cost.

4. State policies can affect your business/tourist attraction

Many a times, state policies affect tourism adversely and will obviously have a negative effect on your business. The number of tourists will reduce and your business might even fail due to this. Other political factors like terrorism or riots will degrade the value of the tourist location and thus affect the restaurant.
