Government initiatives, including promotional efforts, have boosted tourist footfalls during the winter season. Despite a dip in 2025 compared to 2024, efforts are underway to further revive the industry, which contributes substantially to the state's economy.

Why this matters

Tourism is a vital economic pillar for Jammu and Kashmir, a region historically affected by security challenges and political instability. The reported slump in 2025 following a terror attack in Pahalgam underscores the vulnerability of the sector to such incidents. The government's claim of revival signifies efforts towards economic recovery and a return to normalcy, which is crucial for the livelihoods of many residents.
