Amid the end of lockdown measures, Pakistan’s much talked about tourism sector is reviving after 100 percent booking at tourist destinations, said Information Minister Shibli Faraz on Monday.

“Pakistan has become an attractive destination for tourists from all over the world. 100 percent booking at tourist destinations is proof that the tourism industry in Pakistan is gradually growing,” said Faraz in a tweet post.

The minister was of the view that the development is a clear demonstration of economic activity and the restoration of public confidence. “[However] the people must implement SOPs,” he added.

By 2025, the government predicts tourism will contribute Rs1 trillion to the Pakistani economy, according to the World Travel and Tourism Council.

Pakistan closed all the tourist spots in March this year to prevent spread of the virus, but officials said this had hit millions of people hard in the KP and GB - two main hubs for domestic and international tourism.
