Kashmir's tourism sector is experiencing a significant revival, particularly in Gulmarg and Sonmarg, with hotels fully booked for New Year's Eve following fresh snowfall. This surge offers much-needed relief after a difficult period marked by a terror attack in Pahalgam in April and a blast in November. Stakeholders express optimism that the increased tourist footfall, driven by the winter wonderland appeal and New Year celebrations, will continue throughout the year, signaling a hopeful recovery for the region's key economic pillar.
