Where other countries profit off the thriving tourism industry, Pakistan has been ignoring it at its own peril. The tourism sector helps a country receive a speedy and steady inflow of much-needed foreign exchange, in addition to creating a desired narrative in and outside the country. Pakistan can tackle its worsening economic crisis if it takes adequate steps towards promoting tourism.
It is laudable that the PTI-led government has vowed to promote tourism and, in this regard, been working to introduce a visa-on-arrival policy for nationals of more than 50 countries.
