PAKISTAN has suffered a lot from terrorism and extremism and now we hear the good news that Pakistan has been named the best holiday destination of the world for 2020.

According to CN Traveller, Pakistan is ranked number one tourist destination among top 20 countries. This is something to cheer about and it will promote tourism in Pakistan.

Pakistan is full of breathtaking tourist spots such as Neelum valley, Deosai plains, Siri Paey, Kumrat valley, Naltar valley, Babusar top, Fairy meadows and so many other places.

Pakistan has lush green mountains besides cultural heritage and historical and archaeological places. Pakistan has rich potential in tourism because of its cultural diversity.

It is a great opportunity for Pakistan to take advantage and make Pakistan a safer place to attract tourists from all over the world.

This will bolster our fragile economy and portray a soft image of Pakistan across the world.
