Peshawar: Advisor to the Chief Minister Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa on Tourism, Culture, and Archeology Zahid Chanzeb inaugurated a new interactive and virtual tourism website under the auspices of the KP Culture and Tourism Authority (KPCTA) in a simple but impressive ceremony on Tuesday.

The new website provides online virtual tour facilities besides pictorial details of all the major tourist spots in the province, and any visitor wearing VR and clicking on any tourist spot will feel as if he or she is there himself and can roam anywhere he likes.

Eulogizing this effort, the tourism adviser directed to pay full attention to virtual tourism across the province and emphasized making virtual tourism on this website at various religious, cultural, and archeological sites besides the hill stations and tourist places. 

Similarly, he urged the inclusion of all the tourist, cultural, and archeological places of the merged districts in the list of virtual tourism, which has now become an integral part of the province, and domestic and foreign tourists are eager to visit there.

He also directed us to provide all the facilities related to hotel bookings on the website, in addition to other services, so that no one is left unattended under the one-window operation.

He clarified that these measures will increase the viewership of the website as well as the revenue generated by KPCTA.

 Zahid Chanzeb said that he will leave no stone unturned to promote tourism and culture in the province, recalling that the tourism industry is the largest source of income in the world, and henceforth, we can make our province the richest and most prosperous region only by promoting the tourism industry on war footings.

The tourism adviser was also directed to speed up steps to open new tourist spots and provide additional facilities to tourists in all tourist areas, including Guliyat, Hazara, Malakand, and Chitral, owing to the start of the summer season.
