ISLAMABAD: In a move to take the tourism sector in Gilgit-Baltistan (GB) to new heights, Pakistan’s government, in collaboration with the Special Investment Facilitation Council (SIFC), has initiated a significant initiative to reconstruct government guest houses across the region.
In collaboration with Green Tourism Private Limited, the project aims to refurbish tourist accommodations, while enhancing the region’s appeal to visitors for exploring the breathtaking landscapes and natural wonders of the mesmerizing beauty in GB.
Being famous for its awe-inspiring beauty and often hailed as a paradise for tourists, GB has long captivated the hearts of travellers and tourists across the world. However, despite its allure, several scenic spots have remained relatively unexplored due to inappropriate infrastructure.
The new strategic move is expected to ensure a boom within the local tourism industry, inspiring economic development and creating new opportunities for the locals.
However, the initiative is also facing opposition from certain factions within the tourism sector, accused of disseminating misinformation to safeguard personal interests, but the resilient and informed residents of Gilgit-Baltistan continue to lend their backing to these efforts for the benefit of the area and its people.
