He informed that a number of PTDC officials went on deputation after implementing the 18th ammendment of the Constitution that had transferred of various Ministries and Divisions to the provinces and PTDC was one of such examples. Following the implementation of the devolution plan, he said the organization is no more attractive for the officials who are on the pay role of PTDC.

He said that there are no two views on the importance of sustainable development of tourism industry which is one of the major source of foreign exchange earner.
