Jammu and Kashmir CM Omar Abdullah announced plans to develop pilgrim tourism circuits in Jammu to encourage Vaishnodevi pilgrims to explore other regional attractions. With one crore visitors annually, diverting even 10-15% could boost local tourism. The government will introduce 3, 4, and 7-day packages to promote these destinations. Abdullah emphasized the need to raise awareness and attract more visitors, acknowledging the challenge of expanding pilgrim tourism beyond the shrine.
