(Karachi) Prime Minister Imran Khan will visit Naran today (Monday) to inaugurate development projects for the promotion of tourism in the area.

During his visit, the premier will be briefed about the steps being taken to promote the tourism sector in the country. He will also hold meetings with local PTI leaders, eminent personalities, and other officials in Naran.

Earlier, the PM inaugurated the Al-Beruni Radius in Multan, part of government efforts to revive the country's historical sites and heritage. Imran said that the tourism industry has potential to provide employment to people. He added that Pakistan has three areas of tourism — the mountains, the seas, and the coastline.

He stated that Turkey earns $40 billion annually from tourism, while Malaysia earns $20 billion from its maritime tourism. Despite having the same potential, Pakistan is earning nothing compared to Turkey and Malaysia, he mentioned.

The prime minister said that aside from contributing to the economy, tourism can also be the biggest source of employment in Pakistan.

The Frontier Post

NARAN (APP): Prime Minister Imran Khan on Monday said with an eco-friendly infrastructure in place, Pakistan’s northern areas with their captivating natural beauty could become the world’s top tourist destination.

The projects included launch of emergency response service for tourists, tree plantation along the bank of Kunhar River besides breeding of Trout fish, distribution of 550,000 biodegradable bags, setting up a waste collection system and delivery of motorbikes to Community River Rangers.

The prime minister said Allah Almighty had blessed Pakistan with beautiful landscape with diversity ranging from plains to mountains and stressed that the best way to offer gratitude was to preserve the natural course of environment.

“I have explored the world, but found no match with the scenic beauty of Pakistan,” he said. “The future generations will be grateful to us for a clean and green Pakistan.”

LANZHOU, Aug 19 (APP): Pakistan has a wealth of cultural heritage and resources including archaeological sites, stupas, forts, shrines, tombs and monuments.
“Pakistan can learn from China to protect and promote cultural heritage,” remarked Wajid Ali, who worked as a volunteer in the 2021 Gansu Natural and Cultural Heritage Day held in Lanzhou, China.
The three-day event features cultural performances and cultural heritage exhibitions of all the 14 cities in China’s northwest province of Gansu. “These are excellent exhibitions. Each city has its own culture and heritage.”

“For example, in the Zhangye Pavilion, you can see a lot of clothes and drawings unique to the city of Zhangye and handicrafts with features of Jiayuguan are displayed in the Jiayuguan Pavilion,” the Pakistani master’s student told CEN with great enthusiasm.

“I travelled to many places in Gansu such as Dunhuang and Zhangye and enjoyed amazing historical sites including the Great Wall and Fortress in Jiayuguan,” Wajid explained, adding that he offered to volunteer in the activity to learn more about the culture in Gansu and its protection of cultural heritage.

“As you can see, the visitors just love their traditions and heritage and want to participate. The event not only brings joy, understanding and creativity, but it helps promote cultural heritage and boost public awareness of heritage preservation,” the passionate Pakistani volunteer said, adding that it showed how people in a democratic society choose to spend their discretionary time.

This valuable experience may be an enlightening lesson to Pakistan, according to Wajid. “By showcasing and introducing the cultural heritage in such an event, the people become more familiar with their culture and are more aware of the importance of preserving their culture and traditions. This holds a great lesson for Pakistan.”

There is more to it in a Natural and Cultural Day. At the event, offline stalls and live-streaming selling activities empty stock-piled cultural heritage-themed products and create deep-pocketed culture exhibitors and preservers.
