With just a little care, we can make them world-class tourist destinations, he added.

Murtaza Wahab said the CDA Sindh should also involve the private sector in the efforts of maritime tourism development so that the coastal strip of Sindh, which is rich in natural resources, can be developed for the economic development of the country.

He also said that as soon as the initial cruise facility is launched, given the pressure of public demand, many private sector investors will come forward to expand maritime tourism in the area, which will not only create employment for the locals but it will also help in further promoting the positive image of Pakistan in the world.
