Heatwaves drive tourists to cool retreats | The Express Tribune


ISLAMABAD:

With heat waves sweeping and summer holidays continuing, many tourists have been making plans to spend their summer vacations in mesmerising places in northern parts of the country alongside their friends and family members where several tour operators have witnessed a boom in business and through various social media sites they are seen offering discount rate joint trips.

The northern areas were heaven on earth with superb locations, serene weather and culture making it even more interesting for the visitors, said a tour operator while talking to a private news channel.

A CEO of Pakistan tour and travel operating in northern areas commented that with the start of summer holidays, we started offering affordable packages with good quality services.

Joint family trips are a new trend and people with these summer tours are enjoying luxury accommodations, hospitality and personalized services that make their trip truly special, said another travel agent.

“We were looking for a reliable, trustworthy tour operator to travel for northern areas of Pakistan with myself and wife so finally, I found a travel agent who was charging 30,000 to 50,000 for a single-family joint trip with comfortable transportation,” said a citizen.

It is sweltering hot in most major cities of Pakistan and everyone is trying to escape the blazing heat. While it may be a good idea to catch a plane and go with other people jointly to explore Pakistan’s amazing sites, said a visitor travelling to Gilgit-Baltistan (G-B).

It is time to appreciate tour operators who are offering discount rate trips and promoting their homeland, said another traveller.

It is summer vacation planning season, and that means professional travel agents across Northern areas doing hard work and making sure their clients have the best experience ever while earning a handsome amount of money.

“The majority number of clients come to us all the time saying they are overwhelmed by searching on the Internet,” said a tour operator, adding, “We save clients a lot of valuable time. We tour over 10 to 20 resorts a year to be able to provide first-hand comparisons.”
