This was announced by state Tourism Minister Ghulam Ahmad Mir. He said this year the focus would be on 11 new tourist destinations in Kashmir. These include Kokernag, Veerinag, Deksum, Watlab, Manasbal, Wadwan, Simthan pass, Yusmarg, Lolab, and Gurez.
The focus this year is to provide enough space for the increasing number of tourists, which nearly touched the two-million mark last year.
Most of the tourists have been visiting Gulmarg and Pahalgam apart from the Dal Lake in Srinagar.
The new tourists destinations are being developed after years of violence and damage to the infrastructure.
