Dress code for tourists

They want to make it like Saudi Arabia where there is absolutely no freedom for either citizens or outsiders...The next thing the fundamentalists will say is that all ladies should cover their head and so on...

I doubt if Saudi Arabia has this law for the foriegners also i don't think it is. :blink:

Most probably, Saudi Arabia has not prescribed a dress code for foreign tourists. The only restriction is on liqueur.

This is not at all fair for the tourists. The government should not make such restrictions.Otherwise,they won't see tourist in the Valley.

Only Indian can follow such dress code...as we are used to it...I fear tourist wont accept it..

every one is used to some dress code. Indian women will not adopt skirt and blouse in Europe. similarly, western will not adopt sari in India. everyone is used to his own regional dress.

Even i also think why a foriengner would accept it. She would prefer not to visit that place rather being restricted to some dress code. :blink:

Not enforcing the dress code.
I agree with Ram that, We should honour and respect the local culture.

No tourist will visit a place whose culture he dislikes. The visitors to Kashmir do not insult the local traditions. They simply dress as they usually do. They cannot be asked to come in a dress acceptable to certain Kashmir politicians.

Kashmir is said to be the heaven on earth and is one of the best tourist attraction of India. but from the last few years the sensitive atmosphere of Kashmir due to terrorism the number of tourist have already decreased and now if this dress code matter is insisted then it will no doubt have a more worst effect on the tourist.

True, especially when the major source of income in the valley comes from the tourists!! This is just what the Talibanis would do, people should raise their voice against this.

When you go to Saudi Arabia , Ladies no matter where you come from, have to wear a long dress covering your hands and feet and tie a scraf round your head.You cannot wear a saree there unless you wear a hijab over it.I took some music cds and they were all dumped into the bin with utter disregard also a small ganesha statue that was in my suitcase was also thrown in the bin...The arrogance the immigration officials have , has to be seen to be believed ..

This dress code should be for the whole of India. I appreciate what Kashmiris have said regarding the culture and descipline.

Actually Saudi Arabia, is totally a muslim country. So,there you have to follow what they are following from years and decades.
About the officials in the immigration,what they did, should not be done. They should had respect to GOD.
But let me tell you, there are many tourists in india,do smuggle drugs, in the deity Idols of India.So,may be they would had think this, and did that cruel mistake.

No that is not the case Ronark. When you go to Saudi Arabia you cannot take any scriptures or symbols belonging to any other religion and also no musci or video cds, also no story books etc etc...

Oh is it?? :huh: :huh: :ohmy:
I don't think they have restriction for music, video cds and also story books?? :huh: :huh: :unsure:

Usha so many people hate saudi in my opinion as they wont respect other religious people.

This dress code should be for the whole of India. I appreciate what Kashmiris have said regarding the culture and descipline.

How can you have same dress code for whole India. Dress code may be in establishments, institutions, clubs but this cannot be in street and that too for foreigners.

So this means that they are very strict.

Dress code is one type of restriction in a free country.
I don't think this is fair.

Yes they must keep in mind that they are in our country and our culture cannot allowed this type of dress in our country.It give bad effect in our society...........

In my opinion I think its not good at all that their should be dress codes for tourists. It will reduce tourism and no doubt will affect economy also.

I personally am against any dress code as long as it is not offensive.But , just for arguments sake, there are some countries still following a strict dress code and they dont like people wearing revealing clothes and the European and other Western tourists do follow it, so do we when we visit those countries..

Kashmir is such a place where most of the revenue of the income earn by this state,is from tourists.
If dress code would be there,restrictions would be there and in such restriction no one would like to come.

Then you have to decide whether you want tourism and hospitality industry at all? Moreover, our people also come across various cultures, dress, styles only if you allow tourists to come in their own dress, style and way.

May I ask that if you go to Andaman Nicobar Islands, you will take off all your clothes and instead cover your waist with leaves as the tribal there do. After all according to your argument, a tourist must follow the local dress code, whatever this is.

Usha so many people hate saudi in my opinion as they wont respect other religious people.

Yes , people go there mainly because of work and earning opportunities, but life is depressing since there is very little in the name of entertainment, no theaters and one cannot go to any restaurant in a mixed crowd unless it is a family ...Ladies have very little freedom, they cannot go out without a male escort who has to be either a family member or husband..
