G-20 Sherpa Amitabh Kant Lauds Kashmir’s Picturesque Landscapes During Tourism Meet

The annual G-20 tourism meet was recently held in Srinagar, and one of the major highlights of the event was when G-20 Sherpa Amitabh Kant praised the scenic beauty of Kashmir. In his speech, he said that no Bollywood movie could be complete without showcasing the picturesque landscape of Kashmir.

Bollywood’s Romance with Kashmir

Kant highlighted the fact that back in the 60s and 70s, Bollywood became synonymous with Kashmir. It was during this time that the industry started showcasing the beautiful landscapes of the valley in several movies, including the iconic ‘Kashmir ki Kali’. This sparked a long-standing romance between Bollywood and Kashmir, and filmmakers continued to use the state as the backdrop for several movies.

The Power of Scenic Tourism

Scenic tourism is a powerful economic driver in India, and places like Kashmir offer a wealth of opportunities for the industry. Kant further added that the government is committed to boosting tourism in the area and is keen on showcasing the rich culture and beautiful scenery that resides within the state. Furthermore, with the G-20 tourism meet being held in Srinagar, it is likely that the exposure generated from the event will lead to greater awareness about Kashmir’s potential as a tourist destination.

Conclusion

Kant’s comments highlight the importance of scenic tourism to India’s economy and the role that beautiful destinations like Kashmir play in attracting tourists. As the government continues to focus on boosting tourism and improving infrastructure, it is likely that we will see more people visiting the beautiful state of Kashmir and exploring its rich cultural heritage and stunning scenery.
