THE recent terror attack at Pahalgam in Kashmir has thrown Kerala's travel industry into turmoil, leaving both tourists and tour operators in a state of panic. The tulip season, which draws thousands of Malayali vacationers to the destination between April and June, now faces an abrupt halt.

On average, over 3,000 tourists from Kochi travel to Kashmir each month during this period. The attack has disrupted holiday plans for hundreds, with tour operators overwhelmed by calls for cancellations.

"Kashmir has long been the most preferred summer destination for Malayalis," said most of the tour operators.
