“I am also pleased to note that world’s prestigious travel publications are ranking Pakistan as the top tourist destination. My message to the world tourists is that Pakistan is well prepared to welcome you during 2020 with its spectacular tourist destinations and unmatched hospitality of its people.”

Simplifying the tourist visa process by the current government has also generated a lot of interest from foreign tourists in Pakistan.
