Our study aims to examine the promotional tools undertaken by different hotels and other tour operators; we also try to evaluate the role of their promotional activities carried out for the development of the tourism industry; we will also discuss the problems and limitations the industry has to face. Our research was carried out using both primary and secondary data. It was mentioned earlier that the existing literature on the promotional aspects of Jammu and Kashmir tourism (and even on the overall marketing aspects) is not adequate; therefore, our study works with the primary data collected through questionnaires and surveys by Jammu and Kashmir tourism industry actors. A survey questionnaire was used to collect the primary data from the selected sample for this study. In India, many important participants of promotion act at macro level. These actors are: the central government, the tourism department of JKTDC (Jammu and Kashmir Development Corporation) and other actors field. The top 8 executives of JKTDC, and 30 hotels and tour operators and agents were selected for the purpose of data collection. The hotels were selected randomly, but with taking some factors (number of the guest nights, total income, etc.) into consideration. Secondary data used in this study were collected from the annual reports of JKTDC and from related journals, periodicals, newspapers, web pages etc. Descriptive statistics like percentage method and averages was used whilst data analyzing. The validity of the questionnaire was also determined, resulting in a value of Cronbach's alpha at .82. The alpha of a scale should be greater than .70 for items to be used together as a scale (Nunnelly 1978).
