With the changing geo-strategic situation, improvement of internal as well as regional peace and more importantly the liberalization of tourists' visa policy, Pakistan’s tourism industry will grow.
The boom of economic activity in Pakistan, particularly CPEC, is also encouraging the tourists.
Other factors attracting the tourists are the hospitable nature of Pakistan's society, mouth-watering food, architectural, cultural and archaeological allures.
