OYO Rules For Unmarried Couples: OYO, an Indian multinational hospitality chain, has introduced a new policy allowing partner hotels to decline check-ins for unmarried couples. OYO, a prominent travel and hotel booking platform, has implemented the new policy in Uttar Pradesh’s Meerut with immediate effect.
Under the company’s new policy, all couples will be required to present valid proof of their relationship at the time of check-in, even for online bookings. The company explained that the policy change was driven by ground-level feedback and expressed its intention to expand the initiative to additional cities in the future.
The initiative is part of OYO’s program to reshape outdated perceptions and position itself as a brand offering safe and reliable experiences for families, students, business travellers, religious pilgrims, and solo adventurers.
It is worth noting that the company may reportedly extend the policy to other cities. Adding further, according to sources, travel booking giant OYO has previously received requests from civil society groups, particularly in Meerut, urging measures to address this issue.
