Govt of HP not doing enough for Tourism

Govt of HP is not doing enough for the tourism in the State. The natural resources are huge. It needs to exploit the resources. The flora and fona of Himachal is unmatched in the hill tourism. It can be compared to any good destination in world. If late Ch. Bansi Lal can do it in a state like Haryana which had no natural tourist attractions, surely HP can exploit its virgin tourist destinations. There are places like Janjehali valley, Chuhar valley, Bharmour, Naina Devi (Sarkidhar) 7 lakes-Rewalsar, few other unexplored places in Kangra, Hamirpur and Kullu.
Govt can seek help of specialists and professionals. Locals can be involved by educating them and this sector can become a major employment generating venture for the huge unemployed educated youth of the state. Some incentives and getting funding through banks etc will do the trick. NGO'S can be involved. Cooperatives can be formed for the purpose of small ventures, hotels, resorts, camping sites, tracking places etc..
This will create employment to the surging unemployed young people and boost the economy of the state to a great extent.
