Punjab PunchLAHORE: Promotion of religious tourism and planning by the current Pakistan Tehrik-e-Insaaf government seems passionate and no doubt the Religious tourism has immense prospect to attract a large number of religious tourists including Sikh and Buddhists to Pakistan which was neglected by the past governments. I think that this government is also neglecting something essential when it comes to Religious Tourism – The Mosques and Sufi Shrines in Pakistan! All that I read about the religious tourism in newspapers and watch on TV is focusing on Sikh, Hindu and Buddhists but has anyone at the higher level realized the potential of Muslim Heritage- Mosques and Sufi Shrines? Let me give my opinion here, Pakistan has not suffered because of any security reasons in terms of tourism, the tourism industry in Pakistan has been worsened by the government policies and neglecting the fact that tourism is important. To start with religious tourism I think we should embark on with what’s easier for us.
