The theme of this article should be -> DIVERSITY!
Pakistan has diversity both in terms of ethnicities and in landscape. We could use this theme to build this article. From a landscape point of view, we have some of the tallest mountains in the world in the north and in the south we have some of the most beautiful untouched sandy beaches! In the east it is dominated by plains and flat green fertile land while in the west it is littered with valleys and plateaus! From an ethnicity point of view, again we have diversity. Punjabis and Sindhis in the east, Balochis, Paktoons, Persians and Afghans in the west, in the South we have Indian (Mohajirs but I don't like saying that word) and people who came from Oman and Yemen. Lets not forget that the Markan Coast was also at time under Portoguese rule. In the north we have plenty of different peoples, Kashmiris, Uzbeks, Tajiks, Hazaras the Kalash people. Each area has a specific people, who follow a specific culture, speak a certain language and practice certain customs. It's going to be lengthy, but we can easily make this article into a featured one we have everything we just need to gather everything and find a way to showcase it here.

Start of article is quoted wrong
The start of the article is quoted wrong. "LonelyPlanet" does not claim Pakistan tourism is next big thing.....no......here is what Lonley Planet put:

'Pakistan has been on the brink of being tourism's ‘next big thing’ for more years than we care to remember. It’s a destination that has so much to offer visitors; drive the Karakoram Highway through the endless peaks of the Karakoram Mountains, or wander through the architectural glories of the former Mughal capital Lahore, the ancient bazaars of Quetta or the cosmopolitan streets of Karachi. But every time the country seems to be gearing up to refresh the palates of travellers jaded with last year’s hip destination, world media headlines send things off the rails – again. No matter the attractions, tourism in Pakistan has always been something of a hard sell'

This is another example of why I hate WIkipedia. Anyone can write anything they want. And biast people let it happen. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 96.251.46.221 (talk) 05:17, 17 December 2014 (UTC)

History
I think it would be great to add a section about the history of Pakistan tourism. Is there anyone around who could do that ? For instance, about the visa policy, I know that for some time (at least til the seventies), British (and Commonwealth citizens in general) didn't need any visa to enter the country. This kind of information would be a great value to understand the fluctuation fo the relations between those entities. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 93.19.215.193 (talk) 16:19, 13 August 2020 (UTC)

Theory
In this world peoples are interested for for making theories and giving their knowledge to the peoples so they can easily spread their own ideas by their own self at your website Wikipedia can help those people who are who are waiting for chance that someone a chance a chance but no one care about all those peoples because they don't care about all these people because they only want their money what can I see that they only take care about their their cells and their bank balance is and don't did even don't care about those people who are genius more than there and they can do better than everyone better than anyone you can say but they are not not focusing or again so we have to focus on those people who are able to do something but sometimes they won't be able to do anything 137.59.218.4 (talk) 19:58, 14 April 2022 (UTC)
