In a step towards improving the debt-ridden tourism industry, the federal government has decided to completely restructure the Pakistan Tourism Development Corporation (PTDC).
According to details, the government has decided to reconstitute the entire structure of PTDC. It was also decided to fire 400 political appointees’ from the department by clearing their dues.
Moreover, the government also decided to hand over hotels located at tourism spots to respective governments. Under the new system, the National Tourism Coordination Board (NTCB) will take over the administrative control of PTDC.
The PTDC’s board of governors and the federal government took this step to prevent further losses.—INP
