Opinion | Speedy Implementation Required to Bolster Tourism

As far as religious tourism goes, development is a continuous process. Almost all the well known religious places have new things to show and give to the pilgrims/ visitors. But if other avenues too are placed on the same grid, three things will definitely happen, one revenue generation, second more employment eventualities will open and three Jammu too would be on the tourist map of the globe.
What people visiting a particular place want is something  fresh and new that they can see which they never saw before! Now for example, the Tawi project that includes the artificial lake that is going to be a huge attraction for the travelers. Obviously many props would come in later but the process has begun! Then there are many wildlife sanctuaries in many places. The names of the places I have mentioned above! Manda and Nadini wildlife parks are being developed no doubt but if the same could happen with an increased velocity then things will definitely move in the right direction. People love to see animals.
Today this is what the family on travel discusses before moving out of their homes, travel makes one modest. You see what a tiny place you occupy in the world Jammu happens to be one of them. Another one is in Arnia where birds land up from all over the globe. Bang on the border but still a place where the tourism potential is huge. Hokersar in Kashmir is the favorite haunt of migratory birds but so is Arnia. This could become a loveable place for the ornithologists.
Tourist destinations like Patnitop, Sannasar, Surinsar, Sudh Mahadev, Mantalai are well known. But there are a plethora of more that can be explored because they have the potential to attract the tourists! No one can ever think of anything that excites a greater sense of childlike wonder than to be in a place where you are ignorant of almost everything! Jammu has a huge castle full of tourism gems. They just have to be reconnoitered.
