A senior officer at Gulmarg said they have earned ₹ 100 crore revenue during one season from the Gondola cable car and the collections have surpassed all the previous records which is a great achievement.

“The sales have surpassed all previous records,” he said.

The officer said an average 4000 people use this cable car every day.

The officer said a lot of effort has been made to achieve the milestone.

“It was a big challenge to achieve this sales target as the tourists who visit Gulmarg need good accommodation, hospitality and a good infrastructure,” the officer added.

The government has also made an on-line ticketing process that has helped to increase the revenue and has also reduced the hassles of tourists acquiring the ticket for taking a ride. (Agencies)
