Vision

Making sustainable and responsible tourism only standard practice guaranteeing economic growth, inclusive development and environmental sustainability.

Goals

In the wake of the recent floods in Pakistan which are a result of climate change, LXG is bent on making Tourism in Pakistan sustainable and beneficial to the hilt. Our pursuit of an ecologically sound world carried us on to the commencement of this noteworthy Conference bringing together National and International stakeholders.
Tourism has a conspicuous impact on the masses. UNWTO’s sustainable tourism development guidelines ( SDG ) and management practices revolve around environmental, economic and socio-cultural aspects of tourism. We are bringing together the stakeholders who can successfully make tourism run on the tracks of sustainability and responsibility.
The recent calamitous floods in Pakistan are a deadly warning to all those who had been thinking of climate change as a trivial matter.
These floods and frightfully anticipated natural disasters in future pose the biggest threat to environment and consequently tourism and stakeholders hinged to it for their survival.
This conference will elucidate the effects of climate change on tourism and share how it has been showering the local and national treasury with capital bringing thriving opportunities of income and earning for the regional population which face a fatal future if not addressed and managed immediately.
The organization which have been strong advocates of sustainable tourism and devoted executants of eco-friendly practices will address climate change.

Most sought-after destinations for local and international tourists involve majestic mountains carrying whether metamorphic rocks or sky-high pines, green pastures, spectacular valleys, mighty rivers, winding streams and swarming springs. these areas are required to be furnished with swift telecommunication services to grant the visitors an experience of a life time and thus contribute to tourism. The stakeholders of telecommunication companies will acquaint the attendees with the challenges faced by telecom sector in the context of booming tourism industry and the challenges climatechange can bring up for organizations with considerable workforce relying on it for their livelihood.
