The
government's plans to limit liquor permits only to 5 star hotels will not help
the industry, it said, adding, majority of tourists depend on other hotels and
resorts and denial of liquor will make it less attractive.
Kerala Government had recently refrained from renewing the licenses of 418 bars in the state stating that they had to upgrade themselves.
