Although curfew may have been lifted in Kashmir but the state's tourism industry is still counting its losses, which could be as much as Rs 100 crore a day.

Kashmir's multi-billion tourism industry is worried. Hotels are recording cancellations and airlines have reduced the number of flights or slashed rates by 50 to 60 per cent. People are disappointed with the restrictions.

Industry experts estimate losses to the tune of Rs 100 crore a day and are hoping that tourist arrivals would pick up once again in the days ahead.
