Jammu and Kashmir has said it is keen to restore the tourism glory of the State and encourage its “vast potential” in adventure tourism.
“The Government has taken effective steps for the holistic development of tourism sector in the State. We are keen to showcase its vast potential in adventure tourism,” Tourism Minister Ghulam Ahmad Mir said.
Adventure tourism holds great potential to generate jobs for the State’s people, especially the youth, he said, adding that it should also receive focused attention along with conventional and pilgrim tourism.
The Government is adding adventure attractions for tourists at various destinations in the State.
“The trained and skilled human resource of the State could benefit from the adventure tourism industry,” he added.

“Infrastructural development in sync with the ecology and environment is need of hour,” he said.
The minister also inaugurated a ski rescue base and a ski heli port and laid the foundation of a Tourist Information Centre.
