The Beautiful State
Till
19th century, Tourism in Himachal Pradesh was restricted only to a
limited movement of pilgrims to a few spiritual destinations in around
the hills. Only when the British established their chain of hill
stations did tourism receive recognition in the State. Tourism activity
received a shot in the arm when British declared Shimla “The Summer
Capital of India” in 1864. Post independence, more investment in the
infrastructure sector led to opening up of Tourism in the State. However
the biggest boost to tourism occurred in the mid 80s and 90s.
Top Destination
While
traditionally Himachal was known as a summer destination, the
Department of Tourism & Civil Aviation has taken special efforts to
break the seasonality factor and has developed diversified tourism
products to attract tourists in other seasons too. Now Himachal is known
as “A Destination for All Seasons and All Reasons”. In fact, the
Department has laid a special emphasis on the development of
activity-based tourism and opening up of new sub destinations. To
promote tourism in the countryside and to unexplored areas, appropriate
infrastructure is being developed within available resources.
brilliant job..
