Tourism development in hill destinations largely depends on the quality and availability of accommodation facilities. This study evaluates the availability of accommodation amenities provided by tourism service providers in Janjehli Valley, a rapidly emerging destination in Himachal Pradesh. Primary data were collected from accommodation establishments to assess the presence of twelve essential facilities, including 24-hour water supply, safe drinking water, air-conditioned rooms, internet connectivity, generator backup, and electronic payment options. A Chi-Square goodness-of-fit test was applied to examine whether the distribution of these facilities was uniform across service providers. The analysis revealed significant disparities in facility provision (χ² = 114.60, p < 0.001), indicating that while basic amenities such as 24-hour water supply (96%) and electricity (90%) are widely available, modern facilities like air-conditioned rooms (24%), gardens (18%), and generator backups (14%) are relatively scarce. The findings highlight an urgent need to improve the availability of advanced amenities to enhance tourist satisfaction and promote sustainable tourism in the region. This study provides empirical insights useful for policymakers, tourism planners, and stakeholders aiming to strengthen accommodation infrastructure and boost the valley’s tourism potential.
