Tourism
Tourism in Pakistan is a growing industry.[1][2][3] In 2010, Lonely Planet termed
Pakistan as being "...tourism's 'next big thing' for more years than we care to
remember. [But] world media headlines [always] send things off the
rails". [4] This geographically and ethnically diverse country has much to offer, from
natural beauty and historical heritage to cultural diversity. According to the Travel
and Tourism Competitiveness Report 2017 released by the World Economic
Forum, the direct contribution of travel and tourism to Pakistan's GDP in 2015
was US$ 328.3 million, constituting 2.8% of the total GDP. [5] According to
the World Travel and Tourism Council, the direct contribution of travel and tourism
to Pakistan's GDP in 2016 was US$ 7.6 billion (PKR 793.0 billion), constituting
2.7% of the total GDP. By 2025, the government predicts tourism will
contribute Rs1 trillion (US$9.5 billion) to the Pakistani economy.[7View entire presentation
