Pakistan is the most Favorite destination for tourists in 2020

A foreign journal called CN Traveler has declared Pakistan the best tourist destination of the year 2020. Reacting to this, people have questioned whether Pakistan is fully prepared to welcome a potential crowd of domestic and foreign tourists next year.

Experts say that foreign tourists usually complain about security and housing concerns, given the increasing number of tourists in Pakistan. Expressing his opinion on social media, some Pakistanis said that Pakistan has the best tourist destinations but there is a lack of facilities. However, the government says the administration has recently made new plans for roads and infrastructure and eased visa restrictions for tourists.
