Industry body FICCI has recommended easing of restrictions on aviation, tourism, sports and schools in 'Unlock-3'.
It
has recommended that Indian and foreign carriers be allowed to operate
between two countries and India should allow foreigners to travel to
India on reciprocal basis.
FICCI has suggested that the
authorities should accept the COVID negative certificate issued by the
origin country. Visas should be revived for persons from such origin
country, it has said.
Airports should provide support and resources to set up 'safe corridor', it said.
Further,
it has recommended that testing labs should be identified and
designated which will issue the aCOVID Negative Certificate' and that
would be accepted by other countries.
On the tourism and
hospitality sector, FICCI has said that clear cut dates should be
announced by the states to open tourism, monuments, tourist attractions,
hotels, restaurants and bars.
"All states/UTs should have a
clear date and announce this for every vertical under tourism so that
this also gives time to the stakeholders to prepare themselves
accordingly," it said.
It has also said that permission should be
granted for hosting all kinds of banquet and conference in the hotel,
however a ceiling of 50 per cent of venue capacity maintaining social
distancing norms should be permitted enabling the hotel to earn some
revenue when other sources of business have dried up.
It has
suggested that clear guidelines are required for organising sports
campsand staging competitions and events. Special provisions should be
made for travel, stay and quarantine of international or domestic
players participating in events.
Games in which there is hardly
any physical contact and where large number of spectators are not
required can start in Unlock 3.0 while utilising one-third capacity of
available infrastructure.
It further said that the government may
decide to open educational institutionsand schools depending on the
local situation of COVID cases.
"In case it is decided to open the schools, FICCI recommends strong adherence tosafety protocols and SOPs," it said.
