Finding the response to the Bed and Breakfast scheme in the city inadequate, the Centre has asked the Delhi government to work for making it more popular so that additional rooms can be made available to visitors during the Commonwealth Games next year.
"The Bed and Breakfast scheme was taken up with the Delhi government officials in our recent meeting. We want the scheme to be more popular and we have told them that," Union Tourism Minister Kumari Selja told reporters on the sidelines of a function here.
While only 13 hotels are coming up instead of 33 hotels in the city, government is banking on the B&B scheme to make avail additional rooms during the Commonwealth Games 2010.
However, till date only 1,534 rooms are being made available for the Games against the target of 3,000 rooms.
