Welcome to Pakistan: 'Tourist-friendly' but not visa-friendly

Thailand offers a lot more than just scenic beauty..

sadly, that is not the main attraction of Thailand. i've been to Phuket like 30 times (cuz it was closer!), yet the only thing that seems to hook the tourists are the Massage Parlor, which offer a "Happy Ending Massages". they have it on anywhere in Thailand. i even name one particular street in Bangkok as Asian Street Meat. either way, i doubt any tourist wants to see beautiful scenery abroad. each countries has their own beautiful natures.
 
I can't speak for every country but flights to India and Pakistan do not come cheap here. I imagine it's the same for much of the world with the exception of nearby countries like China or the Middle East. It's likely that the upper middle class will be the only ones visiting for the near future.
It has to do with high airport taxes. Increase of volume decreases prices - LHR-BOM is about the same time as LHR-JFK - yet the difference in prices is substantial.

Not Pakistan.. Prostitition happens but it's stll taboo.. And very much hidden.. Unlike india..
Ok. But I doubt people take an overseas flight to sleep with hookers.

I know people who visit other countries for having "fun"'.. Involving Booze/babes/hookers : hardcore partying.

Sounds more like a porno site.
 
Natural beauty, adventure trips, inexpensive trips to remote mountainous regions attract exactly the hippie type...
So you would be missing out on a huge portion of tourisim if you are ignoring these tourists...
These are also the same tourists that are willing to brave security situations..
People wanting to get away from the city- like those who go to the mountains to ski/ resorts away from civilization...they arent hippie...then you have nature enthusiasts they also arent hippie...these 2 types are quality tourists who appreciate nature and pay for it!

So what exactly is your target audience then (in the interim)?
quality over quantity....

Tourism isnt something to pollute the country...West did that mistake in the past and some countries are learning esp after finding out Vince is sinking or the alps was being over populated or some parks were littered like crazy! Many places in Europe count and have quota for tourists....THOUGH not all but many do....

If we repeat the same mistakes, kind of just shows how much research or educated people sit in that department who cant seem to learn from other people's mistakes!
