Government ready to support PTDC on promotion of tourism

Islamabad: Pakistan Tourism Development Corporation (PTDC) managing director addressed the participants of senior management course organised by the National Institute of Management.
Speaking on the occasion, Chaudhry Ghafoor Khan said that in the past, there was no work on the promotion of tourism in Pakistan because it has been a neglected sector. But the present government is ready to support PTDC in this valuable sector. In this context there is a strong need for cooperation between relevant federal and provincial government departments. Tourism is the only sector after Foreign Affairs that play an important role in setting up brotherhood between the nations and to coordinate the masses. This sector creates new innovation in culture and promotes brotherhood and morality. He said that Pakistan is the only country in the world, where tourism opportunities are present for need of every tourist, but due to lack of work in this sector, tourists' flow is limited. Another important reason is the negative propaganda of Western media and travel advisors, due to which foreign tourists are afraid to come to Pakistan while the actual is in contrast to it.
