The Chief Secretary of Uttarakhand chaired a meeting aimed at promoting winter tourism across the state, focusing on infrastructure, marketing and local participation.
Earlier this week the Chief Secretary of Uttarakhand presided over a high‑level meeting dedicated to expanding winter tourism in the state. Senior officials from the tourism department, local administration and related agencies were present to outline a coordinated strategy.
The discussion centered on improving road and transport links to popular hill destinations, enhancing accommodation facilities, and launching targeted marketing campaigns that showcase Uttarakhand's snow‑capped landscapes.
Participants emphasized that a robust winter‑tourism push could generate seasonal employment, increase revenue for local businesses and diversify the state's tourism portfolio beyond the traditional summer season.
The meeting concluded with the formation of a task force to draft an action plan, set timelines and monitor implementation, with a view to rolling out key initiatives before the next winter season begins.
