Pakistan Tourism Development Corporation (PTDC) is planning to organise a Buddha Heritage exhibition in Thailand. Talking to APP, Managing Director PTDC Chaudhry Abdul Ghafoor said that the exhibition would be organised with an aim to highlight the Buddhist historical and religious sites at Taxila, Takht Bhai and Swat. He expressed the hope that the exhibition would attract the Buddhist tourists to Pakistan.
Chaudhry Abdul Ghafoor said that Buddhist Scholars and tour operators would be invited to visit the exhibition. He said that Pakistan is the custodian of Gandhara Buddhist Civilisation and there are numerous holy places in this country of great value for Buddhist people from across the world.
"The significant remains of Buddhist civilisation in Pakistan can boost tourist flow to Pakistan through proper publicity," he added.
He said that the Thai government will provide assistance for restoration/maintenance of Ghandhara Archaeological sites in Taxila and Swat. He said publicity material on Ghandhara will be published in Thai language soon.
Chaudhry Ghafoor said that PTDC will also invite travel writers to project Ghandhara heritage and highlight tourist attractions of Pakistan to enhance the soft image of Pakistan in Thailand.
