The Tourism Industry Stakeholders’ Association has demanded an increase in the number of flights, capacity of heli taxi and changes in the timings so that the inflow of tourists travelling from Chandigarh to Shimla can be improved.
Association president Mohinder Seth says, “The footfall of tourists has been declining in Shimla in the recent times due to various factors. We are trying to explore possibilities to increase the inflow and stay time of tourists in the city. Poor air connectivity is one of the major factors for the declining numbers and needs to be addressed on a priority.”
