Participating in the ‘India Today’ Conclave, Omar was replying to questions about the steps being taken by his government to promote tourism in the state.
"I want to rebuild the relationship between Kashmir and rest of India, which has not been existent in the last 20 years, through tourism. I want all of you to come to Srinagar, Gulmarg or Sonmarg, hire a hut for a month and stay," Omar said.
The Chief Minister said he has been trying his best to promote adventure sports in Jammu and Kashmir for both domestic and foreign tourists.
"I myself had gone to Gulmarg recently and enjoyed skiing there," he said.
Omar said states like Maharashtra, Gujarat and Tamil Nadu enjoy locational advantages and have been able to attract huge investments in different sectors.
"I am not going to ask anyone to invest in my state. What I am doing is asking the industrialists to visit the state, see the opportunities there themselves and decide on their own," he said.

Why,what is the need for hiring a hut. Why can't an indian citizen buy a hut in kasmir and stay there. Does omar have the guts to invite people to buy property in kasmir just as they can in any other part of india. omar abdullah stop this hypocrisy. You are a fanatic to the core. You dont want hindus to stay in kasmir. this was evident from your speech in the parliament during the vote of confidence. Stop fooling people
Good invitation from a young CM. This is what cong is doing. FYI, cong forced National Conference to appoint Omer as CM.Omer is not boasting like modi. modi gave wrong figures(numbers) abt Guj development in Thane speech. He told that 'Vibrant Guj' brought investment of 1100000,00,00,000(11lakh, caror). 20 years bjp rule in Guj made 100 years textile mills closed in Ahmedbad
