ISLAMABAD,(MILLAT+APP):Pakistan Tourism Development
Corporation (PTDC) Tourist Information Centres (TICs) will be
restructured on a modern and dynamic outlook with extensive face
uplift.
This was stated by Managing Director PTDC Abdul Ghafoor
while chairing a meeting with senior management of PTDC here
today.
He directed that all the officers and incharges posted in
PTDC’s 13 tourist information centres located all over the country
must aggressively market PTDC’s facilities as well as concentrate on
promotion of all four-seasons tourism destinations.
He directed to submit a performance report of all units within
a week time, adding that “We have also planned to rename TICs as
Tourism Promotion Centres”.
He further directed that multinational companies, private
schools chains and groups of colleges may be approached for
promotion of domestic tourism by providing special discounts to
students and group tourists in PTDC facilities and transport.
This purpose can be achieved by holding tourism awareness
seminars at schools, colleges and universities, he remarked.
Ch.Ghafoor further said that these Centres will be refurnished
with modern facilities and equipment with attractive outlook with a
view to portray tourism face of Pakistan.
“We have approached Civil Aviation Authority to secure space
for setting tourist information counters at all international
airports in Pakistan. It is our common duty to project soft image of
our country throughout the world,” he remarked.
