Man, by nature, is inquisitive. He wants to know and see more of life and the universe. Since the very beginning people have been travelling all over the world. Men like Columbus, Livingstone, Scott, Marcopolo, Ibn-e-Batuta and Sadi are well-known for their wander-thirst Some went jn the world in search of knowledge, some for pleasure, some for conquest. With the passage of time, travelling was transformed into tourism, In the present age, tourism has developed into‘an industry because of the speedier and comfortable air travel, and tourist bureaus. Today, it ranks among the most important industries of the world.
Pakistan has much to offer to the tourists in terms of beauty and adventure. There are various opportunities for tourists of all tastes. We have beauty spots like Swat Valley, Kaghan, Kalam and Neelam. We have places of historical, cultural and archaeological interest like 3000 year old Mohenjodaro, Harappa and Taxila. We have hill stations like Quetta, Ziarht, Murree, Nathiagali, Fort Manro and Abbottabad. We have Khyber Pass with its high mountains and deep green valleys. We have Gilgit, a paradise for hikers. Lahore is also famous for its historical monuments.
Our country has, therefore, everything a tourist dreams of such as bracing climate, rich,historical sites, vast treasure of old monuments, places of archaeological interest, and spots of unique beauty. Certain other services and facilities are.needed, such as hotels, transport, recreation, entertainment guidance, information and publicity. 

In 1960, the Government of Pakistan set up the Department of Tourism, with many branch-officers in the country. The Government has a plan to ‘construct 2,800 hotels in Pakistan, solely for this purpose in the next Five-year plan.  Tourism and its development in the country has many advantages. First, Pakistan is‘a developing country. Pakistan needs foreign exchange for planning and development projects. Promotion of tourism can help us greatly in this, matter. Thousands Tourists visit our Country and our country earns millions of rupees as foreign exchange.This number has increased much more now.
