Uttarakhand : Explore the possibilities of off season tourism

The Chief Secretary said that the Chardham Yatra is seasonal in the state, but there is wide scope for off-season tourism. Finding them out, plans should be prepared. To promote tourism, first of all work should be done on connectivity. Work should be done soon on the construction of helipads and heliports. Priority should be given to develop helipads in tourist places. He said that the areas where there is a lot of potential for tourism development, but are lagging behind due to connectivity, should be given priority in those areas.

The Chief Secretary said that water and toilet facilities should be made available at every 20, 30 km on the travel routes. So that the passengers and the general public do not have to face any problem. For this, small shops etc. can be arranged for smooth operation. Facilities at tourist places should be developed according to tourists of all ages. The youth use technology a lot. The youth need every information on the phone. For this, such an app and website should be prepared on which all types of information are available. But arrangements should also be made for offline information for the elderly. App and website should be made citizen friendly and easy to use. Tourist places should also be developed according to the leisure of the children.
