TOURISM spreads the message of peace and offers a way to promote peace between Pakistan and India. Tourism is projected as an engine of economic growth and an instrument for eliminating poverty, curbing unemployment, opening up new fields of activity and the uplift of downtrodden sections of society. The two countries must travel around avenues of promoting nostalgic and religious tourism as well.

Pakistan has successfully strived to live up to the region’s legacy, creating important links with its age-old trading partners. Soon after their creation in 1947, Pakistan and India were healthy trading partners.

In an age of declining values, peace can remain indescribable if the values are not well propagated and communicated to society at large.
