Explanation:

The tourism sector plays an important role in Jammu and Kashmir’s economy as it has huge potential for employment generation, even for unskilled manpower.

Tourism also caters to the allied sectors like handicrafts, handlooms, and transport.

However, despite J&K’s unique and rich culture and heritage assets, the sector accounts for only around seven per cent of its gross domestic product (GDP).

Tourism in J&K is not even among the top 10 domestic destinations in the country on the basis of the number of tourist arrivals.
