Under the banner of GoZest, these youngsters have invited the rest of Pakistan to Rediscover KP. Traditionally known as “the land of hospitality”, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa is now commonly associated with extremism, terrorism, insecurity, and intolerance. Pakistan, and in particular Khyber Pakhtunkhwa is perceived as one of the most dangerous places in the world, adversely affecting the tourism industry in the region. The GoZest Initiative aims at bringing tourism back to KP, and changing the negative stereotypes associated with the province and its people.
The theme of the event is to inspire and motivate the youth by giving them the opportunity to meet with their selves. We want to enhance tourism activities, increase tourist arrivals and make tourism an instrument for generating employment, and to re-discover the image of our land as peaceful. Our aim is to attract the tourists of other regions to the land of hospitality i-e Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa. The event proceedings will include various developmental workshops, discussions and team-building activities that enhance and refine the youth’ leadership skills and thematic knowledge.
