attractions for international travelers are usually, mountains, snow, desserts, beaches,
plains, rivers, forests, cliffs, scenic beauty, historical places and cultural diversity.
Pakistan is blessed with all of the said attractions. Up until now Pakistan had faced two
major impediments towards becoming the top tourist destination, first it was not properly
showcased in-front of the world and secondly in the recent past the security conditions
were not suitable for international visitors. Today, it is high time for the Pakistan to
become the top priority for tourists from all across the world. In this regard Social Media

stories of people describing their experiences about the places they had been to. Secondly
