The Kashmir Chamber of Commerce and Industry (KCCI) today demanded reconstitution of the recently formed Tourism Advisory Board.
“While the chamber is considering all the pros and cons of the formation of the Advisory Board, it has been unanimously decided to take up the issue with the Chief Minister in an appropriate manner for reconstituting the same in consultation with the real tourism stakeholders,” KCCI secretary general Faiz Bakshi said after a meeting of the chamber here.
Bakshi claimed that the board consisted of members most of whom are non-experts drawn from different backgrounds instead of experts with proven record.
“It was felt that the board should have been created after consultation with local experts and tourism stakeholders, which has not been done. Therefore, the participants unanimously decided to bring to the notice of the government their strong reservations,” he said.
