1.75m tourists visited in 2017, says ...
Following an improvement in the security situation, tourism in Pakistan has increased by 300per cent over the past few years, it emerged on Wednesday.
According to the report, 1.75 million tourists visited Pakistan in 2017 alone. Statistics from the Pakistan Tourism Development Corporation (PTDC) show that 30pc travellers were domestic.
According to the World Travel and Tourism Council (WTTC), last year, revenue from tourism contributed around $19.4 billion to Pakistan's economy and made up 6.9pc of gross domestic product. The WTTC expects that amount to rise to $36.1 billion within a decade
Apart from an increase in annual tourism, there has been a significant increase in business travelling around the country as well.
A lot of credit for the rapid increase in tourism and travelling goes to publicity of different tourist spots through the internet.
The government has been making efforts to promote tourism and make PTDC a financially viable organisation, Managing Director PTDC Chaudhry Abdul Ghafoor told APP.
He said that PTDC and the University of Management and Technology (UMT) Lahore had signed a Memorandum of Understanding for the sponsorship of the tourism department's publicity material including banners, website, seminars, and conferences.
Products and services of PTDC will also be promoted through social media.
Recently, PTDC has also launched a Pakistan Tourism Friends Club, in which members of the club will get exclusive 20pc discount on PTDC facilities.

Crown Jewel of Domail:
Astore valley is famous for tourism spots like Nanga Parbat base camp, Rama lake, Shaigiri, Rupal Peak, Chongra Peak and laila Peak. Tourists from all around the world visit this beauty icon during summers. The famous spot of Astorey valley is Deosai National Park or Planes. The planes are homeland of lakes, meadows, Peaks, Brown Bears and different wildlife animals. Famous birds in the park include the Golden Eagle, Griffon Vulture, Laggar Falcon, Peregrine Falcon, Sparrowhawk and Snowcock.
Domail Rainbow lake is located in Minimarg Astore valley Gilgit-Baltistan Pakistan. This lake is one of the beautiful lakes of the world with wild open area covered with lush green meadows.
Beautiful Rainbow Lake amazingly takes on different colours at different times of the day. The water, which is crystal clear, is sourced from the streams and springs that course their way down the mountain.
It is said that one need to be lucky to behold the beautiful Rainbow lake because sometimes when you reach the lake after hours of difficult trekking, the lake is not viewable due to fog or rain.
