Tourist numbers are surging in Himachal Pradesh, particularly in Kullu-Manali, with thousands of vehicles arriving daily and hotel occupancy reaching 85-95% for New Year's Eve. Stakeholders are hopeful for further increases, especially if snowfall occurs, which would boost snow-based activities. Destinations like Solang Valley and the Atal Tunnel are seeing high activity. While Shimla and Dharamshala anticipate a rise to 50-60% occupancy, they also await snowfall to enhance tourism.
