More than 8,000 foreign tourists visited the northern areas of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa in 2025, showing a steady rise in international interest in the province’s scenic landscapes, rich history, and cultural heritage.
Khyber Pakhtunkhwa’s Secretary for Culture and Tourism, Saadat Hassan, said the provincial government is taking wide-ranging steps under the leadership of the current administration to promote tourism. These efforts aim to make travel easier and more comfortable for both local and international visitors. He added that the government is focusing on improving facilities, ensuring safety, and highlighting the province’s unique cultural and historical sites.
Alongside foreign visitors, millions of domestic tourists continue to travel to the region every year, especially to popular destinations in the northern districts. These areas attract visitors with their mountains, valleys, lakes, and traditional hospitality, making tourism an important part of the local economy.
Authorities have also reaffirmed their commitment to upgrading tourism infrastructure, including roads, accommodation, and visitor services. In addition, the government plans to expand cultural cooperation with other countries, particularly China, to promote cultural exchange and strengthen tourism ties. Officials believe these initiatives will not only boost tourism but also encourage cultural understanding and harmony.
