Around 25 foreign tourists, including mountaineers and trekkers, on Thursday reached the capital to carry out their tourism mission disregarding the threats emanated following the Nanga Parbat tragedy in which 10 foreign climbers had been killed.
“The incident targeting foreign tourists is condemnable. But our spirit is high. We will continue our mission,” said one of the foreign tourists talking to media at Chaklala Airport.
All of the foreign tourists flew from Islamabad to Skardu to carry forward their activities in various parts of the mountainous region.
The tourists came from different countries, including Ireland, Canada and Czechoslovakia.
Consequent to the efforts by the government, Pakistan continues attracting foreign tourists to the land. In 2012, around one million foreigners reached Pakistan due to the diverse culture, landscape and people.
