North Rhine-Westphalia: North Rhine-Westphalia's restaurateurs groan under energy costs

Neuss (dpa / lnw) - The Corona crisis has hardly been overcome when another serious problem in North Rhine-Westphalia is causing problems for innkeepers and hoteliers. According to a survey of 330 entrepreneurs published by the Dehoga industry association on Tuesday, almost every second person (42.7 percent) sees their existence threatened by high energy costs. Dehoga-NRW President Patrick Rothkopf emphasized the urgency of affordable energy - this would be a "survival insurance" for the industry.
