The 28 per cent tax rate under GST on hotels charging over Rs 7,500 a night will adversely affect the hospitality industry.

According to PRS Oberoi, Executive Chairman, EIH Ltd, putting this segment in the highest tax slab will make destinations more expensive and adversely affect the sector's capability to generate revenue and employment.

He was speaking at the company's annual general meeting here on Wednesday.
