As the summer begins, Kashmir turns out to be an unaffordable tourist destination, thanks to the steep hike in fares by the airlines.
Presently, the airfare on Delhi-Srinagar sector starts from Rs 13,000 and goes up to Rs 21,000. While the airfare from Jammu to Srinagar costs over Rs 12,000. On the contrary the airfare on Mumbai-Jeddah sector is just Rs 9,000 and Delhi-Dubai Rs 8,000.
The airfare from Delhi to several tourist destinations in India is quite low as compared to that of Kashmir. While from Delhi to Kashmir it is Rs 13,000 minimum, from Delhi to Jaipur it is just Rs 4,000.
The tourism players said that while the government is motivating people, particularly the youth to set up their ventures in tourism sector. “But it does not take any action against the airliners, which are making our tourism industry highly unproductive,” they said.
