The most alluring destination of Kangra, Dharamshala, is now firmly on the tourism map of the state. Among its by-products are gentrification and mass tourism, especially in the summer months. This also means the entry of branded hotels, the latest of which is Radisson Blu Resort. Spread over nine acres, the resort offers a range of adventure, recreational and entertainment options. “Radisson Blu Resort is a premium Himalayan destination resort offering an immersive stay experience for the discerning travellers,” says Vikas Sharma, general manager, Radisson Blu Resort Dharamshala. “The property is of substantial significance for both the Radisson Hotel group (RHG) and tourism in Himachal Pradesh in general”. Sharma is confident of the destination’s potential. “Dharamshala is going to be the next destination hotspot for high-profile leisure, religious and adventure tourism,” he asserts. “We also foresee an increase in the niche MICE segment in the market in the near future. We are confident that the leisure segment will see a healthy traction in the second half of 2021. We are already experiencing exciting pent-up demand in the market, for leisure FIT’s, social groups and boutique destination weddings.” Of cricket and trails Offering breath-taking valley views, especially of pine forests, the property is owned by Himachal Pradesh Cricket Association (HPCA), whose famous stadium is six km away.
