Most people think that tourism is all about natural beauty. In reality, it is all about connectivity and infrastructure like airports, trains, hotels, and of course tourist destinations, noted the architect, adding that all of this requires huge investment and a lot of time. Dubai is a great example of how to build a tourism-based industry.

Note that Tony Ashai is also the architect of Namal Knowledge City (NKC), Pakistan’s first knowledge city that is being built in Mianwali. The NKC comprises a world-class lakeside campus along with a technology park, business centers, sports facilities, a hospital, shopping centers, hotels, and a housing colony for staff, faculty, and students.
