Kashmir Tourism Hit: Widespread Cancellations After Pahalgam Terror Attack

The recent Pahalgam terror attack, which claimed 26 civilian lives, has led to widespread cancellations of tourist bookings in Kashmir. Travel operators report that 80-90% of bookings, including those for sightseeing and the Amarnath Yatra, have been cancelled. The annual Amarnath Yatra is scheduled from July 3rd to August 9th. The government has pledged efforts to reassure tourists about Kashmir's safety to minimize the impact on the tourism sector.
