When it comes to tourism, the Maharashtra government wants to set up a tourist resort in Ladakh. As some of the provisions of Article 370 of the Constitution was revoked, the bar on outsiders from buying land in Jammu and Kashmir is expected to cease to exist.

Tourism Development Minister Jaykumar Rawal said, "We would like to purchase land and set up an MTDC Maharashtra Tourism Development Corporation resort in Ladakh. A sizable number of tourists visit Ladakh and Jammu and Kashmir every year and with the abrogation of Article 370, I think we can officially set up a resort. The resort will be as modern as those developed by MTDC in Maharashtra."
