KARACHI:
Pakistan is considered as one of the most beautiful tourist destinations in the world. The land is blessed with breathtaking mountains and valleys, and has a number of historical and cultural sites. As a result, a lot of tourists come to visit Pakistan. It is without a doubt that the tourism industry can help aid the struggling economy of Pakistan. If we promote tourism, then our country will not only receive international recognition but also foreign exchange and investment. The government predicts that the tourism industry, if developed, can contribute Rs1 trillion to Pakistan’s economy by 2025.
Therefore, the concerned authorities must promote tourism by investing in cleanliness and help conserve the beautiful environment that people come to see. Apart from that, Pakistan needs to create a good security system for tourists and natives alike. The pandemic has given the government the perfect opportunity to develop the industry, however not much action has been seen as of yet. I urge the concerned authorities to wake up from their deep slumber and rigorously initiate developmental projects for this cause.
