Pakistan has potential to become regional hub of tourism: PM
Prime Minister Shaukat Aziz on Thursday said that Pakistan had the potential to become a major hub of tourism in this part of the world.
And I have the potential to become slender and svelte and grow a full head of wavy blond hair.Hey, it could happen. Inshallah. | He was speaking at the concluding session of the UN World Tourism Organisation Conference.
Sounds like he was on dope...
Sounds like he was the dope ...
Aziz said that besides incentives for tourists, infrastructure of the country was being improved to attract more tourists. In this connection, he referred to construction of most modern new Islamabad airport and addition and expansion of hotels in the federal capital, Lahore and Karachi.
Did he say anything about the locals' habit of bumping off infidels? Or were they expecting only Sunni Muslim tourists?
Aziz told the audience that there were misperceptions abroad about Pakistan whereas the country was friendly, its people were hospitable, and its different regions offer natural, historic, religious and business tourism. He said that visa policy for tourists had been liberalised. Tourism is a great unifier, sends message of peace and harmony across borders and civilisations, and promotes understanding of each othersÂ’ cultures, values, likes and dislikes, he added.
