Islamabad : Celebrating World Tourism Day 2023 with Islamabad Crescent Lions Club (ICLC) and several other organizations through tree plantation in the university aligns with the theme of this year, “Tourism and green investment.” Pakistan has beautiful landscapes, mountains covered with lush green vegetation, and much more that everyone should explore. Last week, during my travel from Skardu to Islamabad, I witnessed a sunny morning, heavy snowfall at the Babusar Top in the afternoon, and lush green mountains with comfortable temperatures. We are blessed with all these bounties of nature to witness the same day. There is an urgent need to promote tourism in these regions at subsidized rates so everyone can see the beauties of Pakistan. This was stated by the Vice Chancellor of the National Skills University Islamabad while addressing World Tourism Day 2023 participants.
During a graceful ceremony chaired by Brig ® Muhammad Aslam Khan, President of the ICLC, several experts across the country, including Prof. Dr. Shahid Khalil, Ms. Sumera Raza, Mr. Sarwan Kuman Bheel, Mr. Anwar Chitrali, Mr. Munir Ahmad, CEO Devcom Pakistan, and Mr. Rana Aftab Ur Rehman MD Pakistan Tourism Development Corporation highlighted the importance of tourism in the country.
The ceremony concluded with a vote of thanks by Mr. Sibtain Raza Lodhi, Secretary of ICLC. The Vice Chancellor of the National Skills University Islamabad, President of the ICLC, and Mr. Zohair Ashir, a Member of the Selection Board and Advisory Council of this university, also participated in the tree plantation campaign, a symbolic manifestation of promoting tourism through green investment.
