Prime Minister Imran Khan on Saturday expressed hope that Gilgit Baltistan would become a world winter sports destination.
In a tweet, he shared a picture of Skardu and another showing girls playing ice hockey there at night.
He wrote: “Skardu at night & our girls playing ice hockey in GB. With an international airport now at Skardu, this area will InshaAllah become a world winter sports destination.”
Last month, while addressing a gathering in the city, PM had said that with improved road connectivity and the Skardu International Airport, Gilgit Baltistan will turn into a top tourist destination, ensuring economic prosperity for the region.
He had noted that a significantly improved infrastructure would boost tourism in the region.
He had stressed that Pakistan could earn billions from tourism through its scenic northern areas and diverse religious sites.
