Tourism Industry

The tourism industry in Jammu and Kashmir is supposed to be one of the most flourishing industries in the state. This industry is very important for the development of the regions of Ladakh, Jammu and Kashmir.

As there are not much industrial developments in the other sectors of this place so the industry related to tourism is considered with much seriousness by the state government. Apart from agriculture economic activities related to Kashmir tourism is the most popular source of income here. But these activities were hampered because of the massive political disturbances here.

The tourist footfall in this region gradually decreased in and after the nineties. The economic structure of the state suffered a sudden downfall as a result, since the state economy was primarily dependent on this sector.

Most of the people here were into professions related to tourist activities. The financial conditions of the people in Jammu and Kashmir suffered badly after the sudden setback.

The state of Jammu and Kashmir is yet to recover from this sudden decline in the tourist industry. But the department of tourism is trying hard to improve the condition of the tourism industry in Kashmir and bring back the past glory of the state. They are trying to beautify the existing tourist spots and increase the facilities for the visitors in order to attract more people to the state.

To reconstruct the tourism industry here the state government has declared many incentives and facilities for those who are interested in business related to this field of activity.
