KP & tourism

Published September 12, 2018

KHYBER Pakhtunkhwa is rich in natural resources and beauty. It has snow-capped mountains, waterfalls and springs that add to its beauty. The province can earn revenue by promoting tourism. We only need roads, restaurants, motels and security in these areas.

Naran, Kaghan, Swat, Dir, Kohistan, Abbotabad, Mansehra, Hairpur, Shangla, Buner and Hazara are a few places which can earn hefty foreign exchange for Pakistan if we promote tourism.

The government should focus on infrastructure development of these areas.
