The document discusses tourism in Pakistan. It notes that Pakistan has many beautiful places that could attract tourists, but that tourism has declined due to factors like terrorism, attacks on hotels and tourists, and a perception of Pakistan being dangerous. It outlines various regions in Pakistan with tourism potential, like Neelum Valley, Hunza Valley, and Kaghan Valley. However, a lack of infrastructure, high prices, and security issues have hindered tourism growth. Steps are needed to promote tourism through improved security, guidance, publicity, subsidies, and clean environments.
