The Physician According to Aftabur Rahman Rana of Pakistan Tourism Development Corporation (PTDC), the tourism and hospitality sector in Pakistan makes up 3.5 per cent of the GDP of the nation. of which is primarily the result of the recent boom in domestic tourism.
The industry employs about 6.5 million people, either directly or indirectly. The fact that so few people are aware of or are prepared to invest in green practices is regrettable.
According to Rana, the federal government has enlisted the help of provincial authorities to ensure sustainable ecotourism models. She also stated that in order to prevent excessive interventions, additional awareness campaigns and stakeholder involvement are needed.
Prof. Dr. Muhammad Mukhtar encouraged the young people to explore Pakistan, a heavenly country with a vastly varied culture and terrain. The great outdoors serves as an open book for tourists to learn about the nation’s cultural and historical treasures.
