The investigation report compiled by the Government of Gilgit-Balitistan (GB) claimed that terrorists’ attack on the foreign tourists in Nanga Parbat was aimed at abolishing tourism from Pakistan.
As per the report, the GB government said that the reason behind the attack was to divert foreign tourists towards neighboring countries including India, Nepal and China instead of Pakistan.
According to investigations carried out by the GB government, after the 9/11 incident a few number of foreign tourists visited Pakistan and after this incident all tourists have been automatically diverted to the neighboring countries.
Investigation report said that GB wild life department was generating Rs 209 million per year from tourism in regards to hunting only. After the incident the tourism industry, especially the national route and Central Asia route has been severely affected.
