| J&K mulling tourism master plan | | | Early Times Report
Jammu, May 24 In an effort to put tourism back on the rails in Jammu and Kashmir, the state government is preparing a 20-year-master plan for the sector, hit by militancy.
"A 20-year master plan on tourism in Jammu and Kashmir is on the anvil,"senior tourism ministry officials told.
Recognising the vast tourism potential of Kashmir, Jammu and Ladakh regions, they said the industry can make major contributions to the economic growth of the state.
In this direction, the government recently floated tenders asking tourism experts across the world to prepare the master plan and a vision document, they said.
While over 40,000 foreign tourists visit Ladakh annually, over two lakh foreign and domestic tourists come to Kashmir every year. Besides, 80 lakh pilgrims visit the holy cave shrines of Mata Vaishnodevi and Shri Amarnath annually.
