Problems Faced by Pakistan

Pakistan with a population of 182,143,000 in 2013, it is one of the most populated countries in the world, but it is also one of the least developed (poverty in Pakistan) (WHO reference). Poverty is a prevalent issue through out Pakistan: “about one quarter of the population lives below poverty line” (Poverty in paki). Pakistani’s living in poverty being less common in the urban areas, and more common in the rural areas with about half of the rural population still under the category of absolute poverty (Poverty in paki). Poverty in Pakistan and throughout the world impacts the population’s ability to live healthy lifestyles. Without the means to acquire adequate nutrition, health care, and services, these people are unable to meet their individual health needs. Due to the link with poverty and health, it has remained priority in almost all national plans of Pakistan (Pakistan poverty).

Proud parents happily celebrating as their children are able to move onto a university level education, and continue into the job world well-equipped and ready to bring in a substantial income. Families escaping poverty after generations of impoverished relatives. If only life in Pakistan reflected this utopia. The reality is that thousands of tired, hungry children still struggle to get to school and receive a proper education. Families cannot send their kids, and the cycle of poverty proves inescapable. Until the government intervenes, there is no way for the country to pull itself out of an impoverished state and bring prosperity for future generations. With minimal federal intervention, Pakistan could swiftly increase the standard of living and level of education for its citizens. Every day, more and more young girls and boys could be trekking to newly constructed school buildings with a lunch in hand and the realization that they will learn substantial and relevant information with their newly appointed teacher. Literacy rates will spiral upwards, and the poverty strain will ease slightly. Although it will take time, this improved world can be achieved through the assistance of the federal government to already existing groups working to alleviate

1. Gen. In the world Pakistan is a county that is facing one of the most critical conditions of terrorism. Pakistan is on an urge of war against the terrorism since more than 15 years that has been killed thousands of innocent citizens and several hundred of soldiers and law and enforcement agencies' personnel during fighting against terrorism. This irritation has not only affected the peoples of Pakistan, but it has been also very bad effects upon the economy of Pakistan. These things have made the economic situation of the state unsteady and unsecured.

Life in Pakistan is very different compared to life in the United States. In Pakistan, the Pashtun Society does not allow girls to go to school, but in the US everybody can go to school despite their sex. Men are in charge in Pakistan and in Malala’s town. The men go to work and earn money; meanwhile, the women

Poverty-the absence of basic necessities, is the main cause of a number of different problems. In Pakistan, during the past decade, the poverty has been increased by 30% to 40%. Pakistan is the country where more than 55% of population lies under the poverty line. The political strategies by the governing bodies are so weak that even after 68 years, we couldn’t cope up with poverty. We have the world’s best irrigation system, abundance of natural resources, rich land and warm water seashore yet we are among the world’s poorest countries.

As time passed, conditions in Pakistan worsened. Terrorists bombed mosques and churches, they threatened people to the point where every child was scared to leave his/her house . Robbery, corruption, strikes, revolts, and fights were everywhere.

Tourism plays a vital role in economic development in most countries around the world. The industry has not only direct economic impact, but also significant indirect and influential impacts. There is agreement among experts that the travel and tourism sector is the fastest growing of global economy. According to the latest UNWTO World Tourism Barometer, international tourism receipts surpass US$ 1 trillion in 2011, growing about 3.8%up from 2010 (WTO, 2012).

We lost lives, our economy is a mess, and no foreign investor is willing to invest in Pakistan. No sporting events take place any more and are shifted to other places due to security concerns. The tourism industry is as good as a rotten egg is for making an omelet. People are scared to leave their houses.

Tourism is often synonymous to traveling for pleasure and education. It is also a business of attracting tourists and providing for their accommodation and entertainment. In many countries, tourism is an industry for earning Inland Revenue and foreign exchange. The many businesses that grow concomitantly with development of tourism include airlines, shipping, hotels and restaurants, finance companies, tour operators, travel agents, car rental firms, caterers and retail establishments and together,

Tourism is one of the most exciting and progressive industries in the world. Tourism today is a leisure activity of the masses. People travel to international destinations to break the regular monotony of life. They are mainly attracted by either the scenic beauty of its nature or by fascinating leisure, sports and adventure activities offered by the destination. However, every destination has some internal strengths and weaknesses that either enhance its capacity to attract foreign visitors or diminish it. Similarly the external environment can create various opportunities or exposed to threats as well.

Nationality problem:- Pakistanis who are living in K.S.A. They don't get nationality as its not a rule of middle east. They don't give nationality to anyone. So most of the people don't want to come because they don't get

According to Enders and Sanders( 2002: 145-146), Terrorism is defined as, “The premeditated use or threat of use of extra normal violence of brutality by subnational groups to obtain a political, religious or ideological objective through intimidation of a huge audience usually not directly involved with the policy making that the terrorists seek to influence.” Tourist act as an unofficial ambassador between countries, binding people and countries; these tourist and tourist spots have been targets for the terrorist. Terrorist, using unlawful violence to intimidate towards the civil people, gain political gains. When a tourist spot is attacked, it weakens the binding between countries. In today’s world, the intention of hurting people and gaining attention have become easier through the internet. This cause tourist to rethink their chosen tourist spot due to their safety; starting from delaying the destination to avoiding it totally. Terrorist attacks impulsively affect the tourism industry in many different ways, whether be it social, political or economic, leaving a short term to long term effect on the tourism industry.

For Faysal Itani (2016) Lebanon tourism pays the price of the Syria’s war. It threatens the economic growth of the country.

Pakistan, where 22.3% of the total population (Indexmundi.com, 2013) resides at the bottom of the pyramid, BOP consumers play an important role in the country’s economy. John May (2013) states that population growth is now being boosted by young adults. In Pakistan, the age group of 15 to 29 year olds termed as the ‘youth bulge’ represent 46.4% of the Pakistani population. This is seen as a growing concern since the youth bulge will require access to basic infrastructure such as education, health care and other basic needs and most importantly jobs. With growing political and economical instability in Pakistan, offering these needs may seem rather difficult.
