As snowfall begins in the higher regions, Uttarakhand’s tourism economy is witnessing steady growth. Hotel associations in Nainital, Mussoorie, and Auli reported a notable increase in advance bookings. Local shop owners, taxi operators, and homestay owners also expect improved earnings over the next few months.
Tourism Department officials have initiated promotional campaigns highlighting winter sports, cultural experiences, and eco-travel. Authorities are coordinating with local businesses to ensure better facilities, improved road connectivity, and responsible tourism practices.
Experts say seasonal tourism plays a crucial role in boosting livelihoods, especially in hill districts where winter income sources are limited.
