“This high influx of tourists has, directly and indirectly, benefited the local populace including the people living in far-flung areas of the UT and it has resulted in huge investment in the Tourism sector be it the hotels, guest houses, house boats, home stays or other Tourism services,” reads the reply.
Besides the J&K Government has also notified Tourism Policy 2020 which provides for various incentives in the Tourism sector.
J&K Tourism Department has also notified Home Stay Policy/Guidelines 2022 with the aim to achieve de-centralization of benefits of tourism to a large number of people to achieve a multiplier effect on the economy and offer several benefits like employment generation, increased sale in traditional craft/skill, etc. to ensure that the economic benefits reach local people by making more accommodation rooms available and reducing the price-point for tourists.
