Pakistan is among the few countries that experiences all four seasons; and providing a landscape that varies from endless deserts to verdant meadows, snow-capped peaks and rugged terrains. With a rich culture, historical monuments and scenic outposts – primarily in the north – the country is a veritable heaven on earth.
With an increase in the need for recreation, there has been a notable growth in tourism and travel in Pakistan over the past several years. According to the figures of World Travel and Tourism Council (WTTC), Pakistan’s travel and tourism industry contributed PKR. 780.4bn directly to the GDP last year, with a 3.2% year-on-year increase projected for this year. Moreover, when considering both direct and indirect contribution, tourism contributed around 7% of the GDP in 2015, with a forecasted increase of 4.4% this year.
