Tourism Hotel Managers Association of Turkey President Ali Can Aksu, along with his team, called on Minister of State/Chairman Board of Investment (BOI), Atif Bokhari, at the BOI office to discuss investment opportunities and offering specialized services/expertise on Pakistan tourism and hospitality industry.
TUROYD is an association of hotels and tour operators that aims to ensure the activation and development of civil society activities in the field of tourism, and supporting the people and organizations related to the industry. They are offering specialized services to 71 countries across the globe.
While delivering a presentation, Ali Can highlighted that tourism dynamics have drastically changed due to the ongoing pandemic, and their association is workings towards ecological tourism. He further shared that they are actively looking for new tourist destinations, and Pakistan has the potential to become one of the global tourist destinations and the best in the region.
Chairman BOI welcomed the delegation and apprised them of the Government’s initiative of promoting tourism. The government is looking into privatizing state-owned tourism sites, which can be an ideal opportunity for interested investors like TUROYD.
He further added that there could be a collaboration for setting up specialized institutes that offer training to the hospitality and service industry. Atif said that keeping in line with our religious and cultural values, the Government of Pakistan is looking to promote family-oriented tourism, and Turkey, having traditionally similar values, can help in achieving the goal effectively.
