He said that the tourism infrastructure coming up in the city and going to be dedicated to public in future is enough to attract many tourists to visit these places. He expressed hope that this will make Jammu a major tourist hub of the UT.

He further instructed the Department to explore other eco-tourism activities as it is in close proximity with the forest area. He said that the eco-friendly hutments and other amenities shall also be explored to add to the ambience of the park. He asked project proponents to explore making JDA the equity holder in this project so that possibility of revenue sharing is examined in project design.

While giving details about the proposed theme park, the Secretary Tourism, Syed Abid Rasheed Shah informed the meeting that around 92 kanals of land has been identified for building this water park attraction. He also gave out that the adjacent forest land could be leased additionally for the said proposal so as to make the project viable for adding new attractions and for creating gardens, jogging tracks, botanical garden , tree houses etc as permissible under master plan.
