Pakistan Tourism Industry is going to boost with “Religious Tourism”

For centuries, Pakistan has been home to three major world faiths – Hinduism, Buddhism, and Sikhism. The young nation hosts revered pilgrimage sites and remains of prehistoric traditions of the Aryan religion, Brahman religion, and ancient Iranian and Greek religions.

70% of sacred Sikh and Buddhist sites, like ancient monasteries and Takht-i-Bhai (a small scenic town), are situated in NWFP. Punjab houses five most important Sikh pilgrimage sites that include the birthplace of Baba Guru Nanak Gurdwara and The Gurdwara Kartarpur Sahib (monastery), which attract over thousands of Sikhs annually. Hindus are attracted to Pakistan because of the Katas Raj temple in Chakwal and the Sadhu Bela temple in Sukkur.

In all its entirety, Pakistan has a lot to offer in terms of scenic beauty, heartwarming hospitality, and tourism. The forum will help the country market itself, learn, and gain many opportunities. History indicates otherwise, but hopefully, things will start to look up for the tourism of the developing state after the World Tourism Forum.
