<h1>JK tourism sector to receive Rs 5,500 crore investment under externally funded budget and adaptation measures.</h1> Jammu and Kashmir will receive an exclusive externally funded investment of about Rs 5,500 crore for tourism infrastructure and promotion, aimed at repositioning the region for adventure tourism. Proposed adaptation measures include artificial snow-making systems, rainwater storage for snow production, selective snow-machine deployment on drag-lift slopes, and floodlighting to extend skiing hours, reflecting a policy focus on technological mitigation of declining natural snowfall and sustained government support for destinations such as Gulmarg.
