In a bid to attract Israeli tourists and give a boost to the tourism sector of the state, the Jammu and Kashmir Tourism Department is set to send a delegation to Tel Aviv in Israel. "Israel has not issued travel advisory for Kashmir and a number of tourists from Israel have been visiting the Valley and Ladakh in the past.
We are keen that maximum number of tourists from Israel should visit Kashmir. That is why we are visiting the country and on June 25 we would do a road show in Tel Aviv," said Talat Pervez, Director, Tourism Kashmir. During their visit to Israel, officials would interact with tour operators to create awareness about the changing situation in Kashmir. “At present, situation here has changed for the better. We are witnessing tourism boom and we are improving our infrastructure and we involve people in tourism sector,” Pervez said. The tour has been organised by the Ministry of Tourism, Govt. of India, according to a report by India Today. The department is set to screen films and documentaries about Kashmir. The next stop of the tourism department is Jordon and Dubai. Pervez said next year the tourism department is inviting the European Union to visit Kashmir. The department would be asking them to lift travel advisories issued by them for visiting the state.
