Prudence demanded that more of the events than the proposed ones in the calendar of tourism should have been the focus of the State Administration and meetings in this regard should have decided about how best the opportunities could be used to further and promote the tourism but it is totally surprising to note that several tourism promotional events stand unilaterally cancelled . Jammu, where holding of such events proves as an insight into knowing Jammu and its important tourist spots properly was going to suffer badly as even the Jammu’s first proposed International Road Show was in a pendulum of uncertainties.
We would like to know the specific reasons especially when promoting more of such events were need of the hour to generate vigour in the local economy and provide seasonal employment to hundreds of people. It is absolutely unfortunate that summer festival at Patnitop and Paddar Cultural Festival have been unofficially cancelled, the reasons of which are known only to the top authorities in Department of Tourism. We would like to request the concerned authorities to review the decision and instead arrange to go ahead at least with the existing scheduled events. A casual approach with whimsical insight was least expected in an important area like promoting tourism.
