Tourism industry reviving in Swat

Islamabad—Speakers at a seminar urged the potential tourists to visit Swat Valley as the successful military operation against terrorists has brought about complete peace and calm in the region. The seminar entitled ‘Revival of Tourism in Swat Valley’ was organised by Sarhad Tourism Corporation (STC) and Pakistan Development Corporation (PTDC) in Mongora, Swat.

Addressing the seminar, NWFP Minister for Tourism and Culture Syed Aqil Shah vowed to revive tourism in the peaceful Swat valley.

It’s high time for the countrymen to visit the valley as it would boost confidence of the foreign tourists, who once thronged this region in a large number,” he added. The seminar was attended by MPAs, hoteliers, local tour operators, travel agents, transporters and representatives of hotel associations of Swat chamber of commerce and PAITHOM.

Sheikh Fayyaz Ahmad, Manager PTDC said various programs on culture would be arranged in the area to help boost tourism in the region. People from various parts of the country would be invited to visit this scenic valley. PTDC has already opened its Motel at Saidu Sharif to facilitate the tourists.—APP
