Lakhs of tourists thronged Himachal Pradesh during the festive season, particularly on Christmas Eve and the approaching New Year.

The tourism industry in Himachal Pradesh has been badly hit due to heavy rains this year. The National Highway from Dharamshala to Mcleodganj is severely damaged in several places.

With Himachal Pradesh's hotel occupancy rate at almost zero per cent after recent monsoon fury, the hotel association has announced a 50 per cent discount on room tariffs to woo back tourists and a minister said it was "safe" to travel to the state.

A 5-10-minute halt at entry points has emerged as a strategy to ensure smooth vehicular movement in the Himachal Pradesh capital reeling from acute traffic congestion during the peak tourist season.

A total of 30,000 vehicles have entered Himachal Pradesh's Shimla during the past two days, as per the data available with the city police.

The Himachal Pradesh government has given clearance for setting up of eight heliports in different districts of the state this year and work for their construction will start soon, officials said on Monday.

Heliports in all districts will boost tourism in the state, Chief Minister Sukhvinder Singh Sukhu said upon his arrival in Dharamshala on Tuesday.

All restaurants, dhabas, tea stalls and other eateries in Himachal Pradesh would be allowed to remain open round the clock till January 2 in view of an expected influx of tourists for New Year, according to an official statement.

Tourism in Himachal Pradesh has picked up pace after a Covid-induced lull with footfall surging over three times till October 31 this year, as compared to the year-ago period.

Elections are only 10 days away but many in the twin tourist towns of Dharamshala and McLeod Ganj say they have more pressing concerns -- how to end traffic jams, bad roads and poor connectivity that are hindrance to locals and also visitors.
