ISLAMABAD, Pakistan: Pakistan Tourism Development Corporation (PTDC) would develop an amusement park and a golf course over 25 acres of land in Shakarparian soon with the assistance of Vega.
Talking to the state-run news agency in Islamabad, PTDC Managing Director Abdul Ghafoor said Vega Modern Tourism Solutions will conduct a survey and prepare a comprehensive report on possible areas of investment to be provided to the corporation.
Vega’s Information Technology Department will develop an Online Reservation System for PTDC Motels where customers can make online reservations. It will also provide sponsorship for Islamabad City Bus Tour for its decorations.
The PTDC is offering many investment projects through joint ventures and public private partnership to facilitate foreign and domestic tourists.
“In this regard, we have launched many projects including City Tour Bus Service, making of documentary films, upgradation of existing facilities and setting up new tourism projects in Islamabad and other parts of the country,” he added.
To increase the number of rooms at existing PTDC motels, “We have contacted manufacturers of prefabricated structure and soon new rooms will be added in Naran, Ayubia and other prominent motels.”
He hoped that in near future, Pakistan would be ranked among one of top tourist destinations of the world.
The PTDC is considering participating in international tourism and travel exhibitions in collaboration with provincial tourism organizations, airlines, hoteliers and tour operators which not only raise awareness about Pakistan but also increase the foreign tourist influx, he said.
