9) Negative factors
19. 1) Unfavorable political conditions
• Pakistan has been one the favorite place
for tourists but now people think it an
unsafe place after the killing of popular
political figures like Benazir Bhutto and
Salman Taseer
• Corrupt leaders don’t pay attention to the
tourism industry which can take the
economy to the highest peak
20. 2) Lack of proper infrastructure
• Infrastructure in Pakistan is a great
cause of the failure of profitable
tourism industry
• Tourists find it difficult to visit
different places in Pakistan
• Poor infrastructure is a hindrance
21. 3) Inability to cope with natural disasters
• Northern areas of Pakistan have been the
tourists’ favorite place but after earthquake
of 2005, those areas suffered incomparable
loss but nothing had been done for their re-
construction and re-development
• Poor disaster management caused a loss to
the tourism industry

sector of any economy

in GDP

the image of Pakistan in the eye of others
and in result people found it unsafe to visit
Pakistan, which is effecting the tourism of
our country

economic condition of the country are
affected by aircraft industry

ever-increasing terrorist attacks
• Tourism is one of major revenue earners for
Pakistan, but persistent terror activities have
negatively impacted the tourism business
• Examples: 1) the Marriot Hotel attack
which left 60 people dead, 2) even
Pakistan's former Prime Minister Benazir
Bhutto was killed in 2007, 3) the
international cricket teams unwilling to play

tourists find it difficult to visit different places in Pakistan. Poor
infrastructure is a hindrance towards the development of tourism

place but after earthquake of 2005, those areas suffered great loss but
nothing had been done.

about sites of their own country due to lack of marketing and
promotional activities. Tourism industry like all other industries
requires mass media campaigns to attract the tourist and let them know
about their to visit.

opinions of domestic and international tourists
