Train to Tourism
Kashmir’s tourism industry is poised for a potential revival, thanks to the recent launch of the Vande Bharat Express train service. Following the Pahalgam terror attack, the industry faced a significant setback, but experts believe that the new train service, along with enhanced security measures and promotional efforts, will help revive tourism in Kashmir.
The train service is expected to increase connectivity and accessibility to Kashmir, making it more appealing to tourists. However, rebuilding tourist confidence will take time, especially after the recent attack. Despite this challenge, experts predict that tourism in Kashmir will pick up, especially during the upcoming season from September-October.
With sustained efforts to ensure safety and promote the region’s attractions, Kashmir can regain its popularity as a top tourist destination. The tourism industry is crucial to the region’s economy, and its revival will have a positive impact on the local population. By working together, stakeholders can help restore Kashmir’s reputation as a must-visit destination.
