LUDHIANA: As the situation continues to be tensed in Kashmir, the residents who are making plans to visit tourist locations are heading off any plans of going to the Valley. Those making plans the vacations, as an alternative choose hill stations in Himachal Pradesh and Uttranchal. Some also are making plans journeys to Europe, Thailand and United States.
“Last year, we had eight to ten bookings for Kashmir but this year because of the turbulent scenario there, we don’t have a single booking for the Valley. Instead persons are going to Thailand at equivalent price—Rs 30,000 to Rs 32,000. Also this year a large number of other people have booked applications for Europe and United States,” mentioned Rupjeet Saggar of a popular tour and commute company on Pakhowal Road.
Officials of many tour and commute businesses within the town mentioned there aren't many queries for Kashmir as a tourist vacation spot this year. “We didn’t get even a single query for Kashmir within the ongoing vacation season. Instead persons are inquiring for tourist locations in Himalayas in Himachal Pradesh and Uttranchal,” mentioned Rakesh Thakur of every other commute and tours company.
Meanwhile, some commute and tour brokers mentioned persons are going to Ladakh for tours. “In the Jammu and Kashmir state, we have now most queries for Ladakh as it is a popular tourist vacation spot. Though I gained’t say that Kashmir isn't getting that spotlight of holiday makers,” mentioned Sandeep, a commute and tour company owner from town.
Many residents say that even though they would like to visit Kashmir but the scenario there doesn’t seem to be just right.
“Kashmir has been probably the greatest tourist locations within the country and it is similar to Europe. However, the studies from there for the past many months counsel that each one isn't smartly there. A person goes with family to tourist vacation spot for rest but right now I don’t suppose that we will be able to reach that within the Valley,” mentioned Bikramjeet Singh, a businessman from town.
However there are lots of who are going to Kashmir Valley for Amarnath Yatra.
“I and my friends are making plans to visit Kashmir for Amarnath Yatra and expectantly to Sonamarg and Gulmarg as smartly after that. These puts had been my favorite since youth days,” mentioned Vishal, a formative years from town.
