Is Tourism Posing Threat to Natural Beauty in Pakistan?

Pakistan is getting global recognition as beautiful and worth exploring during the last few years as tourism is open again for many hilly areas of the North. Tourism companies are all set with a fair budget for the whole traveling experience for natives and international tourists but at the same time, there is one issue authorities are not paying attention to. 

Areas including Northern Hills and many forts within the country that were chosen for tourist's experience face the severe issue of pollution including garbage and lack of proper arrangement for disposing of it. Talking about hilly areas, deforestation is another challenge that's taking away the beauty, and no compensation is being made for the trees that were cut down.

The damage would not only take away the natural beauty but the tourism rate would also be affected. The Punjab Tourism Department officials assure that efforts would be made to build hotels away from the tourist points to conserve the beauty of the spot. Also, tourists are requested to respect nature and make little attempts to conserve it by not throwing garbage on the ground.
