According to Tourism Cabinet Secretary Najib Balala, lodges, hotels and resorts have gotten the nod to sell alcohol to their checked-in clients on room service basis. He was responding to queries by establishment owners regarding the sale of alcohol considering they have started receiving visitors after the government relaxed Covid-19 measures. However, alcohol still cannot be sold in public areas within hotels. The ban on sale of alcohol in restaurants and eateries was to remain in force for 30 days. The announcement was a big blow to restaurants, hotels and bar owners who sayid they had complied with Ministry rules to resume operations.
