We Hope that this presentation covers the major tourism sites in
Pakistan and clearly describes their future potential. However before any
future progress is made the most important thing is that all Pakistani’s
learn to appreciate and give importance to our cultural and
natural heritage as something is appreciated by others only if it is
appreciated by the owner.
