The proposed scheme is in line with the tourism policy of the Federal Government, it
also encompasses the directives of the provincial government. The project aims to
sensitize and raise the awareness level of general public besides involving the private
sector in making tourism a viable source of income at the grass root and small
entrepreneur level. The projects in Tourism Sector are sub-divided into three
categories namely small, medium and large. The STC directly implements the small

The objectives of the project are to make tourism an income generating source
for the local communities and entrepreneurs. The project would contribute
positively in improving the quality of life in NWFP through the increased flow of
tourists and it is expected that resultantly poverty will be decreased. Local
entrepreneurs would benefit from awareness raising and demonstrative effect
through the small scale tourism development activities which will help support
this sector as an industry. The over all goal is to achieve in the long run the
4
establishment of a sound tourism industrial base that provides job opportunities
and income to the public at large.

PART "II"
Whole of NWFP.
The whole of Pakistan as well as foreign tourists and especially the populace of
NWFP.
The Project aims to raise the awareness level in term of development of tourism
as an income generating source at the grassroots and entrepreneurial level
through small scale developmental activities.
The sub-projects under this umbrella PC-I are meant for social mobilization and raising
awareness among the general public for taking up tourism as a source of income
generation. The umbrella scheme namely TOURISM DEVELOPMENT ACTIVITIES
IN NWFP PHASE-IX is expected to increase the flow of domestic and international
tourists leading to a substantial raise in the (Gross National Product and Gross
Domestic Product) income level of the people. The proposed scheme is expected to
create job opportunities during the execution of the small scale development activities
besides providing employment during maintenance and operation. The proposed
facilities after completion would provide catering to additional tourists resulting in
additional income and indirectly through multiplier effect employing more work forces
with sale of more local produce of the local tourism industry. The entrepreneurs and
the communities both would be brought together through the small scale
demonstrative and catalytic activities that are proposed under the scheme. This would
also inculcate among the local the fact that tourism is a source of income generation
and poverty alleviation, therefore, it is expected that their attitude would be tourist
friendly.
The proposed scheme is in line with the tourism policy of the Federal
6
Government as well as the present provincial government. The project is a
continuation of the previous 8 phases under the umbrella scheme namely
Tourism Development Activities in NWFP. It aims to raise the awareness level
of general public besides involving the private sector in making tourism a viable
source of income at the grass root and small entrepreneur level using the small
scale development activities as a means for involvement of the masses. The
Sarhad Tourism Corporation since its inception had been holding seminars
short training course, publishing of promotional printing material, commissioning
of information centers, recreation facilities, conduct of feasibilities participation
in National, International and local fairs as catalyst with small scale tourism
related activities for the development of tourism in NWFP. These small scale
activities should act as a spring board to attract private sector and mobilize
small scale entrepreneurs as well as general public towards tourism
development.
Basically these are yearly small scale activities to be conducted through out the
province in a planned manner divided over the 12 months spread over one
calendar year and or financial year since for every year a PC-1 is prepared in
light of the actual ground realities. It aims at involving the private sector in
making tourism a viable source of income at the grass root and small
entrepreneur level. These activities are directly or indirectly aimed at boasting
tourism as tool for income generation at the grass root and entrepreneurial level
using technique of demonstration and effect.
The STC is a provincial public sector organization financed through the Tourism
Department purely from the Provincial Government funds. Commercial viability in
implementation and operations has been taken into consideration while devising the
cost estimates in August 2003 from open market. No subsidies are involved. Additional
revenue is expected to accrue due to increased flow of tourist. It is also expected that
tourism activities has multiplier effect such as employment for the local through sale of
local handicrafts, food stuff etc to the tourist and is not calculate-able at this stage due
to demonstrative nature of the scheme. These activities are part of the development
strategy to make tourism a viable source of income at the grass root level by involving
it in small scale developmental activities of the project under consideration. It is also
expected that it will contribute towards enhancing the image of Pakistan.
The NWFP has rich cultural heritage, diverse ethnicity, ancient civilization remains as
well as lush green panoramic views including snow capped mountains that are to be
promoted as tourists destination. These are products in terms of tourism and needs to
be publicized as well as brought into the knowledge of the local populace through
grassroots awareness rising and at the same time making it known to the rest of the
world in order to attract them to visit a tourist friendly NWFP and Pakistan. Generally
Tourism Projects are considered to be viable because their economic internal rate of
return (EIRR)/ financial internal rate of return (FIRR) are normally higher than 15% and
above in normal circumstances. The project aims to raise the awareness level by
involving masses at the grass root level. It simultaneously also aims to involve the
private sector in making tourism a viable source of income at the grass root and small
entrepreneur level. The entrepreneurs and the communities both would be brought
together through the small scale demonstrative and catalytic activities that are
7
proposed under the scheme. This would also inculcate the notion of tourism as source
of income generation with a relationship of understanding between the tourist and local
populace. Cross cultural interaction is expected to create harmony at the local, national
and international levels. This Corporation has formulated its PC-I in light of its priorities
for current year and funds available with the Provincial Government for 2003-04 under
the umbrella scheme namely Tourism Development Activities in NWFP Phase.
The target group is the local population, local entrepreneurs as well as both
domestic and international tourists through the participation of masses at the
grass root level. It interalia is meant to depict NWFP and Pakistan as tourist
friendly regions in the growing global industry of tourism.

Indicate whether coordination with other sectors has been ensured.

return and are generally regarded as viable to the extent that does not pose any
threat to the environment. It is expected that the project would enhance the

small guest houses, eating places, handicrafts shops and better understanding
of the tourist product and demand for national and international tourists.

term through medium term with more and more involvement on the part of
