Pakistan tourism has proven it best in adventure tourism cultural tourism and religious tourism Hospitality. In Islam a guest muslim or not has a position of honor not understood in the west ,If someone visits you and you don’t have much time .Traditionally in Hunza guests are seated higher then the head of the house hold..Most of the people have to offer but their hospitality and casual guest could drain hosts resources and never heard a word about it. It is tactful to politely refuse gifts or invitations once or twice before accepting theme..Mostly hotel in Pakistan are run by private people and with the growth of tourist along KKh the hotels comes now in all costs and comfort ranges. The tourism development of Pakistan have motel along Karakorum highway providing basic facilities very clean and good locations.contributed by ( Golden Peak Tours ) |
