About P**istan Tourism:
P**istan is known in the world of tourism because of the mountainous regions of the north, the Hindu Kush, Karakoram and the Great Himalaya who form the densest concentration of high peaks in the world. Neelum Valley in P**istan is known as the Switzerland of Asia. This multicultural nature of the country also contributes to the tourism industry in the way that it offers various traditions, customs and festivals for the tourists to explore and enjoy. P**istan seems to be a perfect place to be visited by the tourists but still the tourists’ arrival is decreasing day by day if we take in to consideration the years from 1995 till 2008. There are many positive and negative factors that affect the tourism of P**istan I-e Lack of infrastructure, ineffective promotional policies, inadequate tourist’s services and facilities, lack of initiative by concerned government departments, inadequate knowledge and training of personnel in tourism sector, law and order situation especially in the high tourist attraction areas, inadequate infrastructure facilities, lack of incentives in the tourist sector, failure to show and project the positive image of the country via media to the outside world, low Culture Tourism allocation of annual tourist budget, lack of development and facilities in the mountain regions, lack of understanding to the tourist, terrorism, the overtaking and change of governments and administration within the country(army rule),high inflation rate are the key points which have altogether made tourism an unsuccessful industry in P**istan. The country's attraction range from the ruin of the Indus Valley Civilization such as Mohenjo-Daro, Harappa and Taxila, to the Himalayan hill stations, which attract those interested in winter sports. P**istan is home to several mountain peaks over 7000 m, which attracts adventurers and mountaineers from around the world, especially K2. The north part of P**istan has many old fortresses, ancient architecture and the Hunza and Chitral valley, home to small pre-Islamic Animist Kalash people community. The romance of the historic Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province is timeless and legendary, Punjab province has the site of Alexander's battle on the Jhelum River and the historic city Lahore, P**istan's cultural capital, with many examples of Mughal architecture such as Badshahi Masjid, Shalimar Gardens, Tomb of Jahangir and the Lahore Fort. Before the Global economic crisis P**istan received more than 500,000 tourists annually. However, this number has now come down to near zero figures since 2008 due to instability in the country and many countries declaring P**istan as unsafe and dangerous to visit.
