Pakistan Tourism Development Corporation (PTDC) will organize a three-day international conference on tourism on from January 29 in federal capital under the auspices of World Tourism Organization (WTO) which
would be attended by around 150 countries.
Addressing a press conference here on

which would help promote soft image of Pakistan in the world, he added.

position of PTDC and to make performance of the corporation a role model.

and foreign tourist arrivals were also gradually increasing, he said adding, all

The MD informed that efforts were being made to
facilitate pilgrims coming to Pakistan to visit religious places of Hinduism,
Buddhism and Sikhs as religious tourism would never end.
He further said, “We are also trying to facilitate domestic
tourists, overseas Pakistanis and foreign tourists.”

Religious, Economic, Agriculture, Sports, Culture and Medical Tourism so that solid
steps could be taken to promote all sectors,” he said.
He urged the media particularly electronic channels to
promote tourism by highlighting tourist and cultural places of Pakistan so that
the number of foreign tourists could be enhanced.

country,” he added.

apprise Diplomatic Missions, Tour Operators Association, Provincial Tourism
Departments, Airlines and other stakeholders of PTDC’s initiatives taken for
