Pakistan can attract tourists from Muslim countries, says PM Imran Khan

TIL Desk/World/Islamabad/ Prime Minister Imran Khan on Tuesday said Pakistan has great potential in attracting tourists from Muslim countries as leading travel destinations such as Europe were developing an Islamophobic mind set.

Addressing a function during a day-long visit to Karachi, Khan said the government plans to build resorts that would attract tourists from Muslim countries.

“In the past there were many places in the world that our people used to go to spend their holidays, including Europe. But since Islamophobia has increased they now face great problems because of it. They don’t want to take their wives and children there. So, a place like Pakistan has great potential,” he said.

“Our country has great potential to become a popular tourist place for people from Muslim countries and our government will do its best to facilitate them with best resorts and other facilities,” he said.
