PoGB Residents Cite Infrastructure and Security Issues Hindering Tourism Development
Residents of Pakistan-occupied Gilgit-Baltistan (PoGB) have criticized the Islamabad administration for neglecting tourism development in the region. They cite poor infrastructure, damaged roads, administrative inaction, and security restrictions—such as checkpoints requiring identity verification—as barriers deterring tourists. Locals also express concern over alleged attempts to alter administrative control, which they believe further discourage visitors and harm the local economy. Ishkoman Valley, despite its natural beauty, remains largely overlooked by authorities for tourism promotion and maintenance.
