Tourism

Tourism has been declared as an industry in many countries of the world and it is an important pillar of economy in many countries like Switzerland, France, Turkey, Austria, Maldives etc. Pakistan has got every thing that can attract millions of tourists around the world. Unfortunately, we are not receiving considerable number of visitors since we have not marketed the image of Pakistan as one of the best tourist resort on the earth..
i belong to a NGO that wants to promote Pakistani beautiful places.. plz give ur ideas
thanks

Well, there are far too many negative points to make Pakistan popular – sorry!

- religion and difficulties for women to move around
- restrictions in clothing and eating as well as drinking alcohol
- safety issues

And nobody knows any "plus" until now – what is there to be done or seen?

And what’s the aim? To have independent tourim resorts at the beach like anywhere in the world – where the tourists do not even realize where they except on the 1 or 2 days the book a trip into the country? Or to have rather rich persons travelling around looking at special buildings and getting to know the culture?

Perhaps you can get in contact with an international travel agency and discuss options and opportunities. Without complete offers, no tourists would come on their own.

Why don’t you study the situation in the South of Turkey or on the island of Sri Lanka? Perhaps these examples could give you some input.

I want to know every thing about tourism.

to be exact….go to wikipedia.com

The tourism industry is the cornerstone of the Kenyan economy with our natural beauty and wildlife being the top draws. Kenya is home to the world famous mega-fauna that is the Big 5, has world-class beaches and has a landscape that ranges from open savannah to wetlands to the second highest peak in Africa, Mount Kenya. But while safaris and game drives remain big business, that majestic peak is proving to be a mountain of a challenge. Not only are the glaciers fading away, but so are visitors. To get to the bottom, or rather, the top of the story, NTVs Steven Bull and cameraman Boniface Mwangi climbed Mount Kenya to see what the situation really is.

Tourism in Ethiopia accounted for 5.5% of the country’s Gross domestic product (GDP) in 2006, having barely increased 2% over the previous year. The government is proving its commitment and willingness to develop tourism through a number of initiatives. Tourism is a featured component of Ethiopia’s Poverty Reduction Strategy Paper (PRSP) that aims to combat poverty and encourage economic development.

Tourist destinations include Ethiopia’s collection of National parks (which include the Semien Mountains National Park), and historic sites (which include the cities of Axum and Lalibela).

Developed in the 1960s, tourism declined greatly during the later 1970s and the 1980s under the Derg. Recovery began in the 1990s, but growth has been constrained by the lack of suitable hotels and other infrastructure, despite a boom in construction of small and medium-sized hotels and restaurants, and by the effects of drought and political instability.

One encouraging aspect is the growing popularity of ecotourism, with significant potential for growth in Ethiopia. Travel retail sales are expected to continue to grow, posting an increase of 7% in 2006 and with a forecast 5% increase in 2007. Sales are driven primarily by expanding interest in ecotourism packages, including adventure travel, trekking and walking safaris that are making up much of the tour operators’ revenues.

The Muslim fasting month of Ramadan comes in the middle of the holiday in Egypt, which has left hotels and tourists devoid of visitors. A disaster for a sector already badly hit by the global economic downturn. A voiced version of an AFPTV report.

Any one have any idea what has happend in Australia during year 2003- 2009 have strong impacts on australian tourism industry?

Any recommondation that Australia Toursim Board can do for it ?

dunno about that person above….. wanna talk up Melbourne anymore?

Remember Australia had the 2003 Rugby World Cup – which had games all around australia. That was a big revenue raiser for all states and tourism.

also the "where the bloody hell are you" tourism campaign worked quite well around the globe. It attracted abit of negative media attention due to the colloquial language used – but any press is good press as they say. That boosted tourism figures also
