To get back to normalcy after the Pahalgam attack, J&K needs a tourism boost

Published by Parlour News

The brutal attack on tourists in Pahalgam last month has dealt a severe blow to the tourism industry in Jammu and Kashmir (J&K). One of the deadliest assaults on civilians in the region in recent years, this attack stands out not only for its violence but also for specifically targeting those who have long been the backbone of J&K’s tourism economy. Further, the mainstream television media’s aggressive and vilifying campaign, portraying the Kashmiri population as complicit in the violence, has had lasting repercussions on an already vulnerable industry — exacerbating the economic challenges faced by the region. After agriculture and horticulture, tourism is one of the major economic activities in the region. Allied sectors like handicrafts, handlooms and transport are heavily dependent on tourism as they have limited access to the outside market. Tourism contributes over Rs 10,000 crore to the Union Territory’s economy, with more than 30 lakh Kashmiris directly involved in this sector. Since 2019, tourism has been one of the major indicators of the central government’s normalcy narrative, which has encouraged people …
