LAHORE: Keeping in view the importance of Lahore as the cultural capital of South Asia, the Punjab government will be launching a bus service for tourists in the city very soon, Tourism and Food Minister Malik Nadeem Kamran said.
He was presiding over a meeting to review the final arrangements of the project in Lahore.
He said Lahore reflected a rich cultural heritage and splendour of different ages, which adds to the beauty of its culture. International tourists should also experience our cultural heritage in a more befitting and organised manner, he said, adding that the government had decided to launch the project for the same purpose.
Kamran said the buses would introduce tourists to historical and cultural heritage of the city. He said the project had been initially launched in Lahore and if the experiment proved successful, the number of buses would be increased. He said tourist bus service would be called Aik Din Sadiyon Ka Safar.
He said the Tourism Department had sent the summary to the chief minister requesting him to inaugurate the project as early as possible. He said Punjab has a number of historic sites and its centuries old archeological buildings attract a large number of tourists. He said the Punjab government was taking these steps to attract further investment in the tourism sector.
