The PTI government is focusing on four important areas which include education, health, communication and tourism. There are innumerable opportunities in tourism in Gilgit-Baltistan. Prime Minister Imran Khan is paying special attention to tourism in the region. She said that the package of Rs370 billion is not a trivial package. It will change the destiny of the people of the
region.
