Friends of Kashmir Rally to Revive Tourism in the Valley
Srinagar, May 18, 2025 – In a bid to revive Kashmir’s tourism industry, several prominent entrepreneurs, tour operators, and social influencers have stepped forward to encourage travel to the region despite recent setbacks. The initiative, led by business leaders and tourism stakeholders, aims to send a strong message that Kashmir remains a safe and welcoming destination for visitors.
Why Is Kashmir’s Tourism Industry Struggling?
The Pahalgam terror attack, which tragically claimed 26 lives, sent shockwaves across India and the world. The incident led to widespread cancellations, with tourists hesitant to visit the valley. However, tourism advocates argue that allowing fear to dictate travel decisions only benefits those who seek to destabilize Kashmir.
