Srinagar, Jun 30: Chief Minister's Advisor Nasir Aslam Wani on Tuesday announced that the Jammu and Kashmir government will craft a holistic roadmap in tandem with all stakeholders to ensure the sector thrives round the calendar, a move aimed at bolstering the Union Territory's economy, which remains heavily dependent on the annual pilgrim and leisure rush.
Addressing the annual general meeting of the Tourism Advisory Steering Committee, Wani credited the outgoing team for successfully reviving the season through aggressive promotional drives across multiple locations. They did a great job. They went to many places to promote tourism.
As a result, we saw the season coming back to our country," he said. The National Conference senior leader said that the administration is no longer satisfied with the peak-off-season binary.
Our tourism has a very widespread economy. We want tourism to be a year-round phenomenon, not just during peak season and off-season. We will sit with them and discuss how to attract tourists every month," he added.
He said that stakeholders are free to put forth their suggestions without any preconceived notions from the government's side.
