Special Assistant to Chief Minister Punjab on Information and Spokesperson to the Punjab Government Hasaan Khawar has said that the government is introducing revolutionary steps in order to provide safe tourism opportunities to future generations and to keep incidents like Murree at bay.
While addressing an awareness seminar on tourism at Government College for Women Gulberg on Wednesday, he said that the Pakistan and especially Punjab presents unique features in terms of tourism as compared to most of the tourist destinations around the world.
However, it is unfortunate that our share in the tourism sector is only 0.1% when compared to the global market worth 9 trillion dollars.
“We are working to restore the confidence of tourists by removing the shortcomings of the tourism sector,” he said.
He further maintained that in the past TDCP was considered a symbol of high standards and PTI government is striving to restore that lost status.
Hasaan Khawar said that in order to promote tourism, the private sector is being mobilized and infrastructure is being improved.
