Such a fantastic news in this context certainly augurs well for revival of international tourism in Pakistan. However, is it possible to use a multi-pronged approach in an attempt to achieve a ‘tourism renaissance’ this year? Do we want to achieve unconventional rates of foreign visitors, a better local infrastructure and improved national image? To make Pakistan a preferred tourism destination for business people as well as leisure tourists, a comprehensive national tourism development strategy would require both macro- and micro-level investments in the tourism infrastructure itself i.e. Have we considered setting up research and development, human development, and technological incubators all over the country?
