The most inhospitable deserts for extreme sports. Discover where Alexander died and trace his trip back to Macedonia. See the of  Buddhist-Greek symbiosis. Mekan, Dilmun and Meluhha were the old names of the Pakistani Indus Valley Civilization

Take a cruise from Dubai or Rome and see one of the best hidden secrets on the planet. Reach the Mekran coast where money was first invented as the “kauri. “Take a side trip and ski in Shangrila snuggled in the highest mountains of the world. or simply lie on the beach and get a tan.

One has to have a vision to build a story. Any takers?

The army should be thrown out of the Somiani and gidiani beaches to make room for the Pakistani Riviera. The Mexicans looked at the Caribbean tourist industry and created the Mexican Riviera from scratch. Today Cancun and other areas get the Mexicans billions of tourist Dolalrs. The Somiani and Gidiani beaches offer white sand, a warm climate and hat visitrs crave most–a peek at historical places.

Mexcio has taken old dilapidated ruins from the 12 century , and rebuilt them, amalgamating fact and fiction to crate amusement parks that are traps for tourists to lose their Dollars, Yens and Deutshe Marks. Spain Spain the progenitor of the Spanish Inquisition uses the Muslim Al Hambra to seduce Germans and Brits eager to throw their money for guided tours of Islamic Spain.

Arab tourists take cruses from Dubai. These ships could dock at secure locations around Somiani beach where a plethora of Club Meds would await them to suck their dolalrs, provide them with sun, solace, massages, and swimming in the Arabian sea. Secure buses would then take them to Moenjadaro, Mehergarh and even Harappa. All these ruins will need a thorough upgrades with theme parks, water parks and rings of 5 star hotels around them. No one wants to see ruins. People want to buy the story. The story has to be created and then sold Pakistan has a good story–Buddhism, Sikhism, Hinduism, IVC, Gandghara Civilization, South Asian architecture. What more could a country ask for. Mexico makes billions from small recreated pyramids that are not that old. But they have a story to sell, and they sell it well. The Jamaicans, and the Bahamans simply lay back and relax, while millions come to their island and spend money. Pakistan has the highest ski mountains, the most rugged deserts for “extreme sports”, and the sun to give any tourist the best tan that they can dream of.

It does not take a lot of technology to build a hospital. One needs a building, equipment that is freely available in the market, and it takes a legion of good doctors of which we have a large supply of. Medical tourism would pay for itself in less than you could say “money”. Pakistani hospitals and health centers could be built in exotic locations on the K2, and in the middle of the desert.

Medical tourists would come in for cardiac tune ups or weight loss programs. India is already providing these type of services to many. Pakistan can set up deals with the airlines for Orthodontic services and a summer vacation cruise. Orthodontic services in the USA cost about $5000. For half amount, “toursits” could come get their teeth done and also enjoy a summer camp experience in a secure village–living like they used to live 5000 years ago> Obese Americans would pay to lose weight in a village! One could imagine hundreds of these hospital-hotels from Karachi to Gwadar along the beaches.

What is Agha Khan hospital waiting for. He should have duplicated the Agha Khan Hospital in Karachi a hundred times by now. Baqai and Ziuddin hospitals should be hooking up with Sarena and Morvinpick to build clinics galore.
