According to Syed Abid Rashid Shah, Secretary of Tourism, the visiting delegates from different countries who will attend the summit will act as ambassadors to promote the region as a global tourist destination. "We are expecting that the delegates visiting J&K will promote the UT as a global tourist destination," he said, adding that the G20 event would help to project J&K positively at the global level.

As part of its preparation for the summit, Jammu and Kashmir government is launching new initiatives and attractions for tourists to enjoy.

"We are continuously striving to create new and unique experiences for tourists visiting J&K. The hot air balloon ride is one such experience that will add to the charm of Srinagar and attract more visitors," said Shah.

With the help of the visiting delegates, the Jammu and Kashmir government hopes to highlight the many tourist destinations in the area, including historic landmarks, beautiful valleys, and adventure sports activities.

The G20 summit provides an opportunity for Jammu and Kashmir to emerge as a major global tourist destination. The government is confident that with the support of the international community, the region will become a leading tourist destination.
