Srinagar, Jul 8: Jammu and Kashmir Secretary Tourism, Yasha Mudgal, on Tuesday said that the Union Territory is on a strong path of revival in tourism and is once again becoming a top-choice destination for travelers from across the country.
\nSpeaking on the sidelines of the Tourism Secretaries Conference being held in Srinagar, Mudgal said that all states and Union Territories have come together for a major brainstorming session aimed at enhancing India\u2019s tourism sector.
\n\u201cThe Tourism Secretaries Conference is being organized with participation from all states and UTs,\u201d she said. \u201cIt sends a strong message that J&K is a preferred destination, not just for leisure, but for all forms of tourism,\u201d she added.
\nShe said the event, supported by the Ministry of Tourism (MOT), also saw the participation of the Union Tourism Minister and the Lieutenant Governor of Jammu and Kashmir. \u201cThis is the biggest event of the year for us, and it sets the tone for the season ahead,\u201d Mudgal said.
\nAddressing concerns about a temporary dip in tourist arrivals following a recent incident, Mudgal said the situation is returning to normal. \u201cIt\u2019s natural to see a slight slump after an incident, but thanks to the efforts of Hon\u2019ble LG and top government officials, tourists are coming back,\u201d she said.
\nShe added that tourist flow has picked up again in key destinations like Srinagar, Gulmarg, and Pahalgam. \u201cTourists are coming from all corners of the country. We are on the path of revival and will very soon match last year\u2019s numbers,\u201d she said.
\nMudgal further said that such large-scale events help promote confidence and reinforce Jammu and Kashmir\u2019s image as a safe and vibrant destination. \u201cWe will continue to organize more such events to boost tourism across the UT,\u201d she added.(KNS)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
