Today, Pakistan is in dire need of the attention of international tourists in terms of its natural landscapes, monuments
of four thousand years old civilization, mountaineering, and other historical buildings. And the unfavorable conditions
in the region drove them away from us.
Tips to Promote Tourism in Pakistan
Thus, the fastest-growing country in tourism lags behind the others, while Pakistan received the highest growth in this sector
in the 1970s, through which the country’s handicrafts became popular all over the world and the rupee against the dollar.
The value remained stable.
After the successful completion of Operation Zarb-e-Azb and anti-corruption, when the law and order situation returned
to normal, 1.9 million foreign tourists visited Pakistan in 2018.
Given this trend, in 2020 it was included in the list of 10 best remote tourist destinations internationally.
In light of recent encouraging reports, it is strongly felt that to regularize the tourism sector into the mainstream of the
national economy, all the obstacles that stand in the way of its full recovery should be removed.
