KARACHI: University of Hotel Management and Tourism will be established in Karachi to promote tourism, which is the world’s second-largest source of foreign exchange.

This was decided at a meeting on Monday in light of the 18th Amendment. The ministry of tourism is now under the provinces and this will prove befitting as Sindh was neglected as far as tourism was concerned, said Sindh Tourism Minister Muhammad Ayaz Soomro who was presiding over the meeting.

It was also decided that branches of the university will be established in Hyderabad, Benazirabad, Larkana and Khairpur. A tourists’ counter will also be established at the Karachi airport.
