ISLAMABAD - American tourist who is currently in Pakistan criticised the local media for portraying a “negative image of the country” to the outsiders.
The tourist who was seen speaking to the media appreciated the beauty of the country and said that “not a lot people from the United States of America would come to Pakistan as tourists as they think it is a dangerous place”.
“The problem with that is what the media is portraying,” he said, adding that Mexico is more dangerous than Pakistan.
He further urged the authorities to put more emphasis and effort into promoting tourism as it would “do a great deal of good for this country”.
He further said that this step would help change the perception of the country to the outsiders and might also help in bringing foreign investment along with other perks.
“I am a champion of increasing tourism of this country as a US citizen and I just challenge everyone to do the same. You are missing out,” he concluded.
