Kashmir Tourism Bears the Brunt After Tourist Massacre and India-Pakistan Military Strikes
- A deadly gun massacre killed 26 tourists on April 22, 2025, at a meadow in Pahalgam, a resort town in Indian-controlled Kashmir.
- The attack and ensuing India-Pakistan missile strikes, followed by a U.S.-mediated ceasefire on May 10, caused mass cancellations and a sharp tourism decline.
- Before the attack, Kashmir’s government aimed to increase tourism’s economy share to 15% within five years, but the sector is now devastated with hotels empty and boat rides halted.
- Tour operators like Yaseen Tuman reported 'almost a zero footfall right now,' with tens of thousands of associated workers unemployed and nearly all bookings canceled.
- Officials warn tourism may take at least six months to recover if the Kashmir dispute between India and Pakistan is resolved, noting unresolved conflict risks repeating economic fallout.
