Khar: During a conference titled ‘promotion of tourism in Banjaur’ held on Friday, speakers referred to the recently merged tribal districts as highly suitable places to be developed as tourist destinations, and urged the government to take necessary steps to encourage tourism in the region, a news source reported.
