Global recession fails to affect tourism industry

Global recession has failed to affect Kashmir's tourism industry as more and more tourists continue to throng the valley. According to the players in the Tourism industry, many domestic tourists have already cancelled their tours to European countries and are coming to Kashmir valley. This has helped to increase the number of footfalls in Kashmir. Even Farooq Shah, director of tourism in Jammu and Kashmir agrees that recession has failed to affect tourism industry in the valley.
