Tourism in Jammu and Kashmir:Following the attack, visitors left the area, severely hurting tourism in Jammu and Kashmir, which is a vital source of income for the union territory.
Chief Minister Omar Abdullah presided over a conference in the area to try to boost tourism a month after a terror attack in Pahalgam, Jammu and Kashmir, left 26 people dead.
Additionally, this gathering in Pahalgam is the first cabinet meeting to take place outside of Srinagar, the capital.
A major source of income for the union territory, tourism in Jammu and Kashmir suffered greatly after the terror incident in Pahalgam as visitors left the area.
The chief minister of J&K advocated for more tourism during a news conference.
We want the world to view tourism in Jammu & Kashmir as a source of income. Although we must proceed cautiously, we will make every effort to guarantee that tourism in Kashmir and the valley starts as soon as possible. The country has had a difficult five or six weeks, but J&K has suffered the most. The JKNC leader was reported by ANI as stating, “The J&K government will determine what steps we need to take to overcome this situation.”
Abdullah said that the state administration carried out security evaluations in the area following the incident in the Baisaran meadows and that tourism should be a “conflict-neutral” activity. This audit indicates that some locations are prepared for reopening.
Government Pushes for Safe Revival of Tourism in Jammu and Kashmir
Four-six terrorists shot at a group of tourists in Pahalgam’s Baisaran Meadows on April 22. A standoff between India and Pakistan resulted after the terror incident, which was regarded as one of the worst in the valley since the Pulwama tragedy in 2019.
India conducted Operation Sindoor, a military operation against nine terror facilities in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir, in retaliation for the Pahalgam incident. Pakistan launched retaliatory drone and missile strikes throughout India’s northern and western states as a response of the military action.
