G20

According to Scoop, the G20 Tourism Working Group meeting from May 22 – 24 in Srinagar came at a critical time when the Valley of Kashmir has been making persistent efforts to bounce back on the map of international tourism as an abode for domestic and international travellers.

Last week, the G20 Group's 3rd Tourism Promotion Conference in the Union Territories of Srinagar, Jammu and Kashmir was held to much fanfare. This was an exciting event for residents, especially for tourism, which has been a major driver of the region's economy since the beginning.

The three-day G20 meetings in Srinagar were concluded on Wednesday where various foreign dignitaries came and took a tour of the city.

"The G20 group was mesmerized by the fine craftsmanship, detailed needlework, and premium materials utilized. The remarkable workmanship on display is a clear indication of Kashmiri artists' devotion to their trade," Shaw expressed.

The delegates' first destination was the renowned Nishat and Mughal Gardens, nestled on the banks of the enchanting Dal Lake. The gardens, boasting a seamless blend of Persian and Mughal architectural styles, provide an idyllic oasis where nature flourishes and heritage thrives.

J-K Lt Governor Manoj Sinha, Union Ministers G Kishan Reddy, Dr Jitendra Singh and G20 Sherpa Amitabh Kant participated in today’s session.

The G20 meeting in Jammu and Kashmir promises to initiate a tidal wave of transformative outcomes, setting the region on a new trajectory towards stability, economic growth, and social development.

Amitabh Kant said that the government of India and the government of Kashmir will make efforts to assist the filmmakers in film shoot locations and help them with shifting their film destination from other parts to Kashmir.

These products include black cumin (kala zera) from Gurez Valley, organic Rajma (kidney beans) from Tulail Valley, and exquisite paper mache art pieces from the Sumbal subdivision. These offerings highlight the district’s diverse and rich products.

People hope that the meeting would bring about more employment opportunities and help the region's development.
