Answer:

Tourism is considered a major tool of economic development round the globe and in the recent decades it has proved its potential by emerging as the fastest growing industry, contributing about 9% to global Gross Domestic Product (GDP). Jammu and Kashmir (J&K) also known as the “Paradise on Earth” is among the most important tourist destinations of the world. It consists of three regions namely Jammu, Kashmir and Ladakh. All these regions are well known for tourism potential all over the world. This paper will focus impact of tourism on the economic development of J&K by examining the parameters of economic development such as employment generation, development of infrastructure and State Gross Domestic Product (SGDP). It is estimated that almost 50-60% of total population of J&K is directly and/or indirectly engaged in tourism related activities. Touris m contributes about 15% to State Gross Domestic Product. Despite being a leading industry of J&K, concrete steps of its economic impact on state are still lacking. Emphasis will be put on causes/strengths like rich heritage and culture, great hospitality and beautiful landscape among the of far flung and remote areas of J&K. The purpose of this study will be to provide some feasible suggestions based on the findings which may prove valuable for the future development of tourism in Jammu and Kashmir.
