These places were almost unaffected by the
calamity, she said at the commencement of a campaign to provide boost to
tourism in the Himalayan states which was organized in Delhi.
Only 10% of the tourist destinations
including a part of the ‘Char Dham Yatra’ circuit experienced a huge damage,
she said. She said that hard works are on the way for the steady growth of the
damaged infrastructure in the religious circuits which is considered sacred by
the Hindus.
The hazardous floods which took the lives
of hundreds of tourists and pilgrims created a feeling of unsafety among
visitors who cancelled their bookings in hotels and resorts of Nainital and
Mussoorie.
A 14 km lengthy ropeway will be constructed
between Gaurikund and the Kedarnath shrine which was deficiently smashed in the
perilous floods said, Umakant Panwar Tourism Secretary of Uttarakhand.
He said the state government has ignored
the fee to visit high elevated areas to enhance venture tourism in Uttarakhnd.
The campaign to enhance and boost tourism
in the Himalayan States was launched by Chiranjeevi, Union Tourism Minister for
Tourism.
