Tourism in Pakistan has resumed, but locals are afraid of its consequences. Irresponsible tourists pose a major safety risk in a region where many people cannot easily access healthcare, hospitals are not equipped for outbreaks, and small businesses can’t afford safety equipment.
If you’ve ever traveled to Pakistan's mountains and experienced the kindness and hospitality of locals there, this is a chance to give back. We need your donations to help hotel workers, tour guides, and porters stay safe and manage tourism during the pandemic. @RootNetworkOrg
People come for the mountain views, but they stay because of all the hospitable hotel staff, tour guides, restaurant workers, porters, and other locals who make it easy to do so. @RootNetworkOrg
Your donation will provide tour guides, hotel workers, and porters with COVID safety training, specialized COVID kits with all the equipment they need to work safely when tourism restarts, and payment for their time for immediate financial relief. https://t.co/DwOOKNUfmn
