<h1>Bengal seaside town sees 20% hotel occupancy boost from new temple with 20 lakh visitors</h1> Hoteliers in Bengal's seaside town have reported a 20 percent increase in hotel occupancy since a new temple opened in April. Around 90 percent of visitors are making two-day stays to visit the temple, with over 20 lakh visitors recorded since the temple's inauguration. The local hoteliers association notes that most visitors arrive for short stays, and it remains uncertain whether this tourism surge will be sustainable long-term. Infrastructure concerns include the need for road widening and better crowd management systems. Some hotel operators engaged in unfair pricing practices, prompting association action requiring transparent tariff displays.
