PRIME Minister Narendra Modi on Thursday called for a transformation in Uttarakhand's tourism sector, urging the state to eliminate the concept of an "off-season" and promote tourism throughout the year.
"Diversifying and making the tourism sector a year-round activity is important and necessary for Uttarakhand," Modi said, emphasising the need for the region to attract visitors in every season. During his visit to Uttarkashi, the PM invited pilgrims, tourists, and representatives from the corporate and film industries to explore Uttarakhand in winter.
"I encourage everyone to experience the beauty and spirituality that Uttarakhand has to offer," he said, highlighting its potential as a year-round destination. Modi addressed a gathering in Mukhwa, the winter abode of Maa Ganga, after flagging off a trek and bike rally in Harsil. He performed pooja and darshan.
"Mukhwa is not just a destination; it is a place of deep faith and connection to nature," the prime minister said.
