Poor policies lead to lack of tourist interest in Pakistan
| That could be it, but I'da said it was the explosions and the liking of the natives for lopping people's heads off... |
Mrs Meena Ehsan Leghari, chairperson of the National Assembly Standing Committee on Tourism, on Thursday said lack of a comprehensive tourism policy, infrastructure and basic information about tourist destinations were the reasons foreign tourists did not flock to Pakistan. In her opening remarks as chairperson of the meeting held at the Parliament House, she said that Pakistan had immense tourism potential, which if properly exploited, could boost the national economy. The MNA urged the ministry to adopt a well-coordinated and cohesive strategy to develop the country's tourism industry. She directed the ministry to provide world-class facilities, commensurate with the rich cultural heritage and archaeological heritage of Pakistan.
