Today, on 07/04/2026 a special meeting of the Urban Travel Agents Association under the chairmanship of worthy president Mr jan Mukhtyar sahib was held at Hotel Asian Park Munawarabad. Members associated with the association and travel trade participated in the session In today’s meeting special discussions were held regarding tourism related issues at the global international and domestic levels particularly the ongoing Iran American war which has created many difficulties across the region especially in Gulf countries. Its impact has also been felt in India, and more specifically on the tourism sector in Kashmir. We pray that this war ends as soon as possible and peace is restored At the same time with the upcoming Amarnath Yatra, we pray that it is conducted smoothly and successfully. The Urban Travel Agents Association has always played an active and prominent role in ensuring that pilgrims visiting for the Yatra are provided with proper facilities and comfort so they can perform their religious duties with ease Lastly an important point discussed in the meeting was the Kashmir Travel Mart starting on 14th and 15th April at the SkiCC. The urban travel agents association is extending full support to this initiative, which is a positive step and is expected to have a strong impact on the trade.We hope that in the coming time, tourist footfall in Kashmir will increase rapidly. Tourism is not just a single sector it is connected with many livelihoods including handicrafts Transport and horticulture. If this year’s tourism season proceeds successfully, we hope that visitors to Kashmir will return with happy and memorable experiences.
An important point was also raised that people associated with trade especially youth have been badly hit for the last two years and it's as such requested to Present Government UT of JK Chief Minister Umar Abdullah sb and especially His excellency Hon'ble Governor of UT Jammu and Kashmir to pay special attention for their welfare since every travel agent is indebted to Bank and it's hard to make two ends meet..
With this, today’s meeting concluded.
