Islamabad: Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif has instructed the Capital Development Authority (CDA) to devise a comprehensive plan for the development of cutting-edge tourism facilities, including modern hotels, to enhance Pakistan’s appeal as a global tourist destination.
Chairing a meeting on Monday to review the CDA’s performance, the prime minister emphasized the importance of providing international-standard infrastructure to boost tourism across the country. He commended the CDA for its role in successfully hosting recent international conferences and events in Islamabad, which have strengthened Pakistan’s diplomatic and cultural standing.
“The successful organization of international events in the country reflects our growing confidence on the global stage,” PM Shehbaz remarked. He highlighted the significance of modern facilities in positioning Pakistan as a preferred destination for both tourists and international delegates.
The meeting was informed that pre-feasibility studies for constructing new hotels and repurposing underutilized government buildings in Islamabad are already underway. These initiatives aim to revitalize the hospitality sector and accommodate the increasing demand for high-quality lodging and event spaces.
The prime minister also directed the CDA to continue improving facilities for Islamabad’s residents while ensuring that the city is equipped to host high-profile international gatherings.
This forward-looking approach is expected to foster economic growth, attract foreign investment, and elevate Pakistan’s standing as a destination for tourism and business.
