Cities Tourism
Internationally, cities are revered as the “Engines of Increased domestic spending on tourism and
Economic Growth” because of their agglomeration international attention to the sector presents great
function. We must transform our cities to attract potential for Punjab. Our diversity in culture,
investments and become eco-systems of economic heritage, ethnicity and geography is the strength of

Connectivity competitive regimes in existing industrial corridors.
Economic nodes and its connectivity channels are
important for movement of resources. A revamp of
our connectivity channels as part of CPEC can be a Agriculture
key factor in our economic growth. Unfortunately, Punjab’s per acre output and
efficiency in the use of water resources is not up to
modern standards. Agro-industrialization,
Environment development of livestock and preservation of water
are the way forward for this sector.
Punjab relies heavily on its natural resources for its
economy and the sustenance of its populace.
Consistent effort to mainstream environmental
concerns is key to a clean, green and climate resilient Social Development
Punjab. Disparity between the strata of society pertaining to
health and education can hinder the overall
development of a region. Punjab must invest on the
social uplift of the down trodden segments of our
Human Capital society.
The people of Punjab are its greatest asset. The
ballooning working population and youthful
population can yield dividends if enabled by the
right skill sets and investments.
