Investing in Pakistan’s Tourism Real Estate: A New Frontier Post Big City Setbacks
Introduction
There have been notable declines in the real estate markets of major cities in Pakistan that have led to investors opting for other alternatives. As urban centers lose their appeal, attention moves towards expanding tourism real estate in places such as Kalam in Swat which are endowed with scenic beauty and cultural heritage. This change brings about an exceptional opportunity for both investors and the local economy.
