About 70 countries will be participating in this Trade Show and the US Consulate General is very eager that a delegation of Travel Agents Association of Pakistan should participate in this Trade Show, US officials added.
The reason to invite Pakistani delegates of Travel Agents in this show is basically to promote tourism between the two countries and also the visit of Pakistani delegation is to coincide with various discussions between businesses with the delegates of other participating countries, so that the travel sector in Pakistan can stand to benefit, Jang added.
