According to the report, the winter carnival, ice city and other related events being planned for this winter’s catch will take place at these two new destinations alongside Pahalgam and Gulmarg.
“If the other two destinations remain open this winter, it will help to give a further boost to the tourism sector in the Valley,” the report quoted him as saying.
Like the government, the hoteliers too are hopeful of the massive tourist footfall this winter and said that at many places they have already announced concessions in rates to attract tourists from outside Jammu and Kashmir.
Mushtaq Ahmad Chaya, a prominent hotelier and chairman of the Jammu and Kashmir Hoteliers Club said that the hoteliers are upbeat witnessing good winter tourism in the Valley.
“We are expecting jam-packed hotels in Gulmarg, Pahalgam and in Sonamarg as well,” the report quoted him as saying.
As far as Sonamarg is concerned, the district administration should take adequate measures and ensure that the basic facilities like water, electricity and clear roads for the wellbeing of the tourists, he said.
