In Chamba district, the tourist inflow to Dalhousie, Khajjiar and Chamba is picking up gradually. The hoteliers are upbeat as there was an acute slump in the tourism business for the last over one year due to the pandemic.
A tourist from Delhi told ANI news agency: "As there are reports that 3rd wave of COVID-19 will come, so we'd decided to use this no lockdown period".
