Can anyone give serious opinion about this which I have written in Essay CSS 2020........

I forgot the two key areas to write down in paper:
visa on arrival
promotion by social media


worried for this, lets see now

A good one, still that could have been far better by adding the following thoughts to your essay....
Sports tourism
Tourism guide
Food festivals
Religious harmony and etc
Some current data pertaining to tourism e.g.
Restart of flight of British Airways in Pakistan
Number of tourists visited last year
Ministry of tourism and
And tourism based tv channel ?

In challenges the biggest ones are
Religious intolerance and
Cultural barriers

In opportunities one must have highlighted the ratio of tourism adding to GDP and labour force and employment opportunities. Finally one could conclude that promoting tourism is the key in establishing peace in Pakistan.

I interpreted "Opportunities" as "Benefits" of tourism and wrote about how it can generate FDI, promote soft image, create new employment opportunities for local people, develop infrastructure etc. I didn't write about the potential of tourism such as sports tourism, historical places etc. I guess the examiner will fail my essay straight away ?

Opertunities here refer to the benefits and prospects. However, it would have been superb if you have mentioned litttle bit about the potential of tourism i. e religious, culture, sports etc. But still u have covered the topic completely and you will clear it i. A.

It was about “[I]Promoting Tourism in Pakistan[/I]: Opportunities and Challenges”.
DrAnjumZia you did great MashAllah.

my thesis statement would have looked like this: Pakistan has great opportunities to promote its tourism industry despite some challenges which can be solved through proper planning.
