Despite an influx of foreign tourists, Pakistan failed to secure significant improvement in its rankings in the latest Travel and Tourism Index published by the World Economic Forum.
From the list of 119 countries, Pakistan disappointingly landed at 101 number. In Southeast Asia, Pakistan ranked slightly above Nepal and Bangladesh but far below India and Sri Lanka.
Nepal scored 105, Bangladesh 109 points, India 39 points, and Sri Lanka 76 points in the rankings. Travel and Tourism Development Index is a broader frame of the World Economic Forum that works with industry and government stakeholders to promote sustainable tourism for the countries.
Pakistan is categorized as a lower-middle-income economy. Middle Eastern countries, on the other hand, secured better rankings in the list. UAE topped the rankings at 18, followed by Saudi Arabia 41, Qatar 53, and Bahrain 18.
