Tourism Sector In Kashmir, India
An Indian tourist couple takes a selfie on the banks of Dal Lake in Srinagar, Jammu and Kashmir, on May 31, 2025. Following a deadly terror attack near South Kashmir's Pahalgam that kills 26 tourists, the Indian Armed Forces launch ''Operation Sindoor'' on May 7, 2025, targeting alleged terrorist infrastructure in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Jammu and Kashmir. Although a ceasefire agreement between India and Pakistan brokered by the United States comes into effect on May 10, fear and uncertainty devastate Kashmir's tourism sector. The approximately Rupees 8,000 crore tourism industry, which contributes 7% to the region's GDP and employs around 70,000 people, is in crisis. Tourist spots empty, and hotels, tour operators, and local vendors face mass cancellations. With thousands of livelihoods at risk, the region reels from the renewed instability.

Tourist spots empty, and hotels, tour operators, and local vendors face mass cancellations. With thousands of livelihoods at risk, the region reels from the renewed instability.

India-Pakistan Border Tensions
An Indian tourist girl feeds pigeons along a street in Srinagar, Jammu and Kashmir, on May 4, 2025. Security increases in Indian Kashmir after 26 tourists are killed on April 22, when gunmen open fire on a group of tourists in the popular destination of Pahalgam. India and Pakistan exchange fire daily along the Line of Control (LoC), which separates the two sides of Kashmir. Tensions between the two nuclear-armed neighbors escalate, sparking fear and uncertainty in the region.

In response, India reiterates its accusations that Pakistan continues to support ''cross-border terrorism,'' a claim Pakistan denies. (Photo by Firdous Nazir/NurPhoto) -
