Get rid of the paradoxical notion that Baluchistan is a backward and underdeveloped region. Some claim that Baluchistan isn’t even improving. Now, in order to dispel this fallacy, one needs to start with technology and work their way down to agriculture. As a result of both of these factors, the Human Development Index has increased. Regarding the technology aspect, the province has seen significant advancements in recent years.
The Pakistan Agriculture and Research Council (PARC) has planted 120,000 olive trees on 14,000 acres of land in Baluchistan, to give you an idea of the dynamics in the agricultural sector. Half of the saplings that were planted were grown in nearby nurseries, and the remaining seedlings were imported from Italy. The Federal Government provided Rs.300 million for the project’s cost.
Similar improvements are being made in the province’s health and education sectors. The construction of new educational facilities and the improvement of the curriculum and examination system will ultimately aid in the production of qualified graduates capable of competing at the national level. Additionally, the federal government offers scholarships to Baluchistan students enrolled at other universities around the nation.
Tourism and travel accounted for 21.2 percent of the worldwide GDP in 2017, according to World Travel and Tourism Council data from 2018. In 2028, this ratio is expected to increase to 28.2 percent. Few individuals outside of Baluchistan are knowledgeable about the many tourism options available in the region. Efforts are being undertaken to enhance tourism in Baluchistan, according to the provincial tourism department of the province. They claimed to have started initiatives to build and enhance visitor amenities, hotels, rest stops, and information centers in the area. In order to draw visitors to different regions of the province, they are also organizing commercial initiatives and establishing tourism packages, cultural performances, and festivals, among other things.
In addition to lowering poverty and boosting employment, promoting tourism, in accordance with the UN World Tourism Organization, contributes to sustainable development. As a result, Baluchistan’s tourist industry might enhance the province’s general situation as well as the lives of its residents. Opportunities like these lead to job creation, economic progress, and employment for the local community.
The travel and tourism sector is quite profitable. It has the ability to make a significant contribution to the nation’s economic and social development as well as strengthen its security. We have a chance to promote tourism in Baluchistan, which would enhance employment prospects for the local population, assist alleviate poverty, and promote economic growth in light of recent media attention and rapid infrastructure development.
