Economies of many countries thrive on Tourism. It is the 3rd largest industry in the world after oil and automobiles. Sindh’s remarkable tourism potential has largely remained unexplored. Gorakh hill station, Keenjhar lake, pre-historic site of Moen jo Daro, Makli necropolis, various forts & palaces spread throughout sindh, beautiful beaches on the shore of Arabian Sea make Sindh truly an ideal destination for tourism: The Government of Sindh has identified the following areas for profitable investment:
- Beach Resorts
- Water Sports
- Entertainment & Theme Parks
- Multiplexes
- Desert Safari
- Eco Tourism
- Budget hotels and Motels
Market Analysis:The 352 km long coastline, the turtle beaches of Karachi and abundant land in city’s outskirts provide several opportunities for developing facilities for the city of 16 million souls. The sufi shrines of Sindh, despite lack of facilitation, regularly attract thousands of devotees from all over the world. Sindh’s deserts and hunting sites are also favorite sites for adventurers from several countries. The great Indus civilization has many important sites in Sindh including Mohenjo-Daro. The geographical diversities of hills and deserts open a wide range of tourist attractions. An organized tourism sector, which provides facilities at tourist sites can promote the great tourism potential of Sindh, has a bright future.
