Srinagar (Jammu and Kashmir): Jammu and Kashmir's government organized a two-day seminar in Srinagar on World Tourism Day on September 27 to promote eco-tourism in the union territory. The seminar was attended by tour and travel agents, houseboat owners, environment experts, researchers and bird watchers, said officials.
The seminar was organized to reap the full potential of the Kashmir valley as an ecotourism destination. The officials hope that through this seminar lack of awareness of the places in the valley where ecotourism can be promoted at a large scale can be addressed.
“We have a number of beautiful destinations with good potential of eco-tourism and this is the good initiative taken by the department aimed to highlight the unknown destinations”. Said one participant.
