Isnt 10K too many? I mean yes I appreciate tourism...but a sudden influx?! And building hotels would just smash the beauty! Plus most tourist ...prefer enjoying the beauty with minimum impact on the environment....and also would prefer enjoying the culture...

With tourism sadly culture depletes....Did a few case studies a while back....

They should either go for green tourism or atleast control the number...however, if the number is 10k for the year I think its reasonable!

Star Alliance brings good service...a lot of countries are a part of the airpass....would do the tourism industry a good boost!

for a season, 10000 is reasonable number if facilitated.. especially when we have airport in Chitral, most tour operators like frontier travel uk, land at Islamabad and then fly directly to the destinations in Chitra, Skardu etc and take them back..

I am sure within few years, we will gain back our tourism industry..

 

[Shabaz Sharif]

Even 10 will be to much, easy target for Taliban. Recently TTP captured Chinese tourist from South Punjab.

 

[khanz]

I hope they provide them good security

 

[KingMamba]

Maximum security should be provided but even providing security would make tourists skeptical, many people have told me why would they go to Pakistan if they need any type of security? So this is a damned if you do damned if you don't type of situation.

 

[Sugarcane]

It's double edged opportunity - I hope for foolproof security arrangements.

 

[Sinnerman108]

not gonna happen !

Wishful thinking by KPK Gov at best ...
I believe if KpK can do enough to stimulate national level tourism; they won't have to tell lies about Scandinavians.

 

[Jungibaaz]

I think for the time being, tourists should wait. It's better not we gamble for gains and risk making international headlines for all the wrong reasons again.

Wait till the security situation is made better. Besides, if special security has to be provided to tourists, it defeats the purpose.

 

[AUSTERLITZ]

Are they crazy?PA is already overstretched dealing with these taliban..who will give them protection.Taliban will try to kidnap and ransom them for sure..or just behead few to 'send a message to west.blah blah'.They are going right into heartland of insurgency.

 

[Ahmad Masood]

I hope those 10,000 Scandinavians were not high when they made this decision

 

[Ayush]

hope that they enjoy their visit
