Why travel media is dangerous for Pakistan's tourism

- Pakistan's tourism scene is about to explode, thanks to the power of positive social media... but is that a good thing?
This talk was originally meant to be given at the controversial Pakistan Tourism Summit 2019 in Islamabad, but was cut out by the organizers once they realized its critical nature. Let's see if the internet is more open minded than they were.
People with power, feel free to get in touch if you're ever ready to have a real talk.

I m an American, I’ve been to Pakistan more than a dozen times and I m literally in love with the country. Period
I am from Ireland and I visited Pakistan alot and I never seen anything offensive there actually the people of Pakistan very friendly and very hospitality so I must say go to Pakistan beacuse Pakistan is a safest country and those all media its biggest bull shit ever I love Pakistan 💓
Come back , Lets bring more Americans, Lets create a Tourist Train Event going from Karachi to Peshawar
💚🇵🇰💚🌹
You are just a Pakistani lol
yippee doggy noodles okay 👌
I have visited Pakistan three times. Tourists protection is the part of their hospitality! Evil mind people exist in every country. Pakistanies love and welcome tourists from all around the world without any difference. I love Pakistan and it's people, their culture, their food, and stunning natural beauty!! Simply mesmerizing landscapes with wonderful people. my next trip to Pakistan is in July, I will go Northern Pakistan, particularly Gilgit Baltistan. If someone willing to come to Pakistan with me I simply welcome you!

Gonna spend my Raya and then go nothern Pakistan from there. Can't wait!

@@BaraaHilal thats a very good way to ask...appreciated
Don't say my country bad
Here you say you did not have a chance to present but I saw you presented at the summit. Am I missing something here?
she kinda lied
@@AbdulWahab-oo4fo she's paid by India. because she thinks India is much safer then Pakistan. so no harsh words.
She is a liar dear... she did presented at conference even she met with P.M IK...
But she only wants to spoil the image of Pakistan that other foreign vloger are showing to the rest of world...
Every one can sense that she is on a mission to Pakistan...
@@moodwithfood5 I think you are right. She kind of lied. She should have clarified her stance in the initial video.
Also she claims that the Pakistani government tried to censor her.
Clearly this was a privately organized event. Aimed at showing the World, the beauty of Pakistan.
In the second video she shows annoyance because of dogs barking in the background.
Here's my conclusion:
I don't think she has bad motives. She's just trying to help.
But she failed to realize the consequences of the way she tried to help might endanger Pakistan's tourism.
I also think that some of her claims are not right. For example if people of colour travel to Pakistan. I remember that I once met a Somalian student in Pakistan and he was so happy to be there and was excited to be in Pakistan And described about the hospitality of Pakistanis.
I also met a Nepalese student, with similar reactions.
We are also extra nice to Indians and I don't even need to start to talk about how we treat Chinese.
Regardless I think some other countries have much stricter laws like Saudia Arabia or China where you can't say anything about the government let alone God. And yet they have millions of visitors every year.
The problems she mentioned are problems of the world. A tourist travelling to Pakistan is probably not gonna travel just to show of his/her athiest beliefs. Regarding the NOC thing that is also just a delay in the implementation. The visas on arrival have also already been implemented. My Chinese friends just arrived yesterday and they got visa from the airport in Islamabad.
I've seen her previous videos and she didn't seem too excited in them as well.
So I seriously believe that either this is her personality, she's a pessimistic person or she has misjudged the manifestations of her criticism.
It would be a shame though if she continues making videos like this. It'll go down in history on how a woman single handedly ruined the fate of Pakistan's tourism.
I'm even afraid what if she takes a more practical stand just to prove her point. I mean who knows? (I know I'm overthinking but I have to, after all to me my country's reputation is far more important than anything else)
@@ClaudiayAdeel woah woah don't do that. Stop! Don't escalate things.
This video shows us how far a person can go for publicity.Well done
She's right about everything she said and provided examples. But your "publicity" theory is obviously true (sarcasm)
@@ayishol2593 Are you talking about yourself?
@@ballinspalding11 while her critique might be legit but the fact of the matter is that she LIED. She gave her presentation at the summit
@@AbdulWahab-oo4fo She didn't lie though, they only allowed her to present when almost everybody left and when she was meant to present to the PM himself, they stopped her. She released a later video explaining the situation. We can't be so quick to call people a liar in the name of our country

I'm from Pakistan and I must say she's giving such an accurate account , but it's almost every where cause this is the way they market , telling all the goods and hiding all the bads. People might not like this but I'm just being honest. Important part is to develop the strength to take criticism and use it productively in a positive way instead of being in denial
Thats a honest opinion 💖

Pretty bad grammar for a British citizen if you ask me .
She not lying about the colonial hangover. I never received much hospitality like most white westerners do. But tbh it don't bother me, but it does bother other foreign born Pakistanis it's a common criticism..
@@jefferson2310 she can be, but dìd point out the hard truth with the gora complex or colonial hangover..
*_I never expected that low from her she lied she presented her self with her presentation in tourism summit also she met Prime minister Imran Khan in personal meeting with 3 other bloggers_* Long story short she had every opportunity and she availed it to express her reservation..also in her presentation which was presented was different from the one she showed or talked about in this video...she basically cooked up all this story to malign tourism in Pakistan #CheapShot
Edit : I still respect her due to her efforts of highlighting some constructive issues, process could be disputable but hate is unjustified by some fellows
Yeah you need to consult psychiatrist. She is presenting a valid point being a Pakistani citizen i am not able to go office on ‘Youm e Ashoora’. Imagine a traveler
@@meUsman yeah I am all done for weekend on youm e ashura😀....on a serious note u gotta abide by countries cultural norms...Like try to overtake Gay pride March or Annual Holucast or 9/11 respect parades...they just block the whole city for it and still people need to go to thier works they just respect those people sentiments and emotions
Brain Quake agree but imagine working for a call centre like Mindbridge in Lahore with a threat of fire if you take leave. You gotta be there at any cost. So if organization aren't abiding these norms how do you expect an employee. Also there is no point for blockage. Being a Muslim we don't blocl cities on Eids....

Thank you guys for the support and i love your amazing country❤️🙌🏼
Lol that's not colonial hangover. They treat Indians with the same respect too. Idk about other countries but if an Indian meets the common people of Pakistan, he/she gets treated like an honoured guest. Even for Indians pretty much everything is free. It's not about colour. It's their humble nature.
This is coming from an Indian lol.
Thank you 💜💜
@Richa Sharma thanks a lot for bringing out that fact. Actually they don't know about our sub continent culture for treating guests as royals.
Yar thik hai lekin ab Pakistan mein sab log farishtay bhi nahi hain.

@@khaleefax9553 yeah, that is true for every country in the world though.
You will never be disappointed
@8:36 "Pakistani tourists won’t receive security escorts when they go to sensitive areas."
Yes Pakistanis are OK with that because they know how safe or unsafe Pakistan is. However, the government cannot afford a bad experience to a foreign tourist even if that happens to 1 in a million, otherwise the media/you are ready to prefix Pakistan with words like dangerous.
MY brother. It seems like you are missing the point. not all local travellers will know the whereabout and ways to get away from danger. Security is needed to everyone.
@@A.J_inJapanthere are no danger places in Pakistan, at least for the locals. Point your finger anywhere on the map of Pakistan and I will go there as a challenge without security and personal protection.
@@esafzay HAHA take me with you. I am desperate to travel. :)
@@A.J_inJapan Even if there are dangerous places, government won't let you go there whether foreign or local. For example, regions in Balochistan. Why are you complaining?
Nice reply .... i am agree with u ......😍😍
Visited Pakistan almost 10 years ago and hope to travel again in October this year. It was one of my favorite trips, amazing landscapes, bustling cities, wonderful food, welcoming people.
It definitely deserves a spot on the tourist radar.
The country really is spectacular in many ways as you mention, but also faces spectacular challenges. I agree with you that some of the 'influencers' tend to minimize those. Glad to find some balance in your video, it's often missing on TH-cam.
I would advise travelers to carefully plan their trips, do a lot of research, and work with people they know and trust if they decide to go. Be prepared for challenges, but also for unique experiences.
You are always welcome bro. I am from Lahore. Feel free if you need and help or assistance in planing or during visit in Pakistan. It ll be a honor for me.
Beating around the bush ... i can give you 10 reasons against every country. You didn't made a single valid point which can be a threat towards tourists.
Let me ask you this. How much income pakistan Generated from Tourism since 1947 if ,all is good and no threat towards tourists???
she was raising good points and we can learn from her.
You don’t need a threat for stopping tourists coming. Security problems will be the most effective one. And if there are safer options, why tourists should risk their life to come, “ come to see and die “, free slogan for you.
Madam you had a personal meeting with th PM and also got chance to speak at Pakistan tourism summit. So do not tell lies.
We love security in our country, so let our security agencies do their job, it is good for the people and for the tourist.

"Only A true friend criticizes you."
Because they want you to be better.
I agree with her.
First identify freind, who is real freind
I am a PAKISTANI and i agree with her...
she is saying true...
BUT
THERE is a reason behind it....
nearly a decade ago pakistan was facing terorism and pakistani armed forces worked against it day and night just to eliminate terrorism from pakistan.. And the most impressive fact about pakistan anti terrorism operation is ...
PAKISTAN army has sacrifised more soldiers than any other country just for eliminating terrorism from pakistan... And results are clear PAKISTAN is terrorism free country now as i am a living proof ..
THE POINT IS
intelligence agencies of pakistan are strict just because there are still some factors working around the glob just to disturb the peace of PAKISTAN ..
that is the reason why pakistan intelligence agencies are so active in pakistan..
I am a Pakistani woman and I feel that she is telling the truth. Please notice that the negative comments are mostly from male Pakistanis who enjoy way more privilege than us. We can not even walk alone in peace in daylight without getting harassed and stalked. They would ask us to cover ourselves in the streets out of some entitlement engraved in their upbringings. The comments only show that you are right. More Power to you Girl.
Are you a village girl?! your should know that comment will gain more likes from western males for sure, but of course you don't care, a couple of days ago I've watched a British tourist in Afghanistan that say something like "..poor girls want to show their body parts but Taliban force them to wear hijab!", you just seems can't understand how the world work, I call it the liberator mindset! you're just talking emotionally not rationally, bcoz if you're rational then you shouldn't consider the police escort as a negative thing as this girl said, you should know that one accident can ruin the tourism industry in your country and hurt your country image for years, am I right?! are you really in need to a white male or female to tell you that showing your body is ok?! is that how you promote tourism to your country? by being liberal? In Islam harassing is forbidden just like being uncovered, so whoever do such acts he did it against religion, doesn't matter male or female, but those foreigners need you to do it so they can feel like at their homes, meet girls, drink and sleep with them! are you aware of that?! just FYI the Western countries filled with stalking and harassing which thy call it catcalls and other names, they do it to locals and tourists but it's hard to see girls there talk about it, they got used to it, but they'll talk about it when happen in your country (foreign country), and that's the typical US/UK arrogance mindset, but I'm curios why did males telling you to cover yourself? are you walking streets showing your body parts? or they mean your hair?
It is important to acknowledge the different experiences and perspectives of women in Pakistan and to listen to their voices. It is unacceptable for women to be harassed and stalked while simply going about their daily lives, and it is important for men to recognize their privilege and work towards creating a safer and more equal society for all. Thank you for sharing your thoughts and experiences. More power to you as well.

This is the most mature conversation I've heard about Pakistan's tourism issue. Thank-you for putting it up!
We are not in Gora or white complex; but it seems you have different motives, we respect even brown visitors and are equally hospitable towards them. We consider Pakistan a home, and people within home are family members. A person who comes from outside, we take him as guest and guests in our culture are considered as blessing of God. For the viewers of this video, I am sharing a link, A brown visitor is visiting Pakistan, how he is being treated.
th-cam.com/video/po-ewNVU-a4/w-d-xo.html
By the way the people in above video are from India and in west I am sure everyone knows about India Pakistan conflicts.
Foreigners who visit Pakistan, there are hundred of ways to take information, where to visit and where not to, local community, the hotel they stay, tourists guides, any many more. Pakistanis are really helpful people, if you ask a thing, they will explain it in details.
Sorry for this lady but I do not know her true intention and I believe we should not be judgemental.

I've been wanting to bring these issues up with the authorities in Pakistan. I'm also a traveler and I do feel there is a lot to be done. Thank you for bringing this up Alex.
All u want is a proper guider, the rest will be perfect
The tourism summit was organized by a private travel company and it was sponsored by other private travel companies. They have a big financial motive to kickstart international tourism as soon as possible, so naturally they did not want you to present a critical viewpoint. Its a shame because the current goverment is very serious about tourism and they’d welcome constructive criticism. I hope that in future, Pakistan’s government do not let these tourism summits be hijacked by these private travel companies and organize such conferences themselves.
I don’t agree about the Gora complex or colonial hangover part. I think that the positive response that these foreign travelers have received in Pakistan is not so much because they are western people but because people in Pakistan wanted to show them what we are really like and not how they’ve seen us in the western media of post-9/11 world. This to me is the main reason because even Indian visitors are given such warm welcome, because our people want to subvert their prejudices. As you showed in your video, some of these western tourists were detained also by security agencies, so being white is not necessarily advantageous.
I do want to say that as far as foreign tourism is concerned, your opinion is much more important than those vloggers because you have travelled independently and you’ve travelled a lot and spent much more time in Pakistan than them. It makes me happy that despite all these difficulties, you still came back to Pakistan many times. Thats a good sign. I hope that your sentiments reach the concerned authorities.
Li saaa You don’t know what you are talking about. Tourism summit was organized by Landmark Travels and it was sponsored by landmark and other private travel companies. Anyway, just by mentioning FATF, you have made it clear who you are and where you are coming from. Not going to argue with you. Peace ✌️

Absolutely spot on. I saw a talk at the summit and thought r they talking about the same Pakistan I know??!!!
Hi Alex,
We met at travel summit before your presentation and since I was following you for some time I told you about how a superficial image of Pakistan can do more harm than good to this country and how your honest opinion can save future international travelers from disappointment. To my surprise your whole presentation in convention centre was about how difficult it can be to travel in Pakistan.
Thank you! For being honest, always keep on sharing your honest opinion. I hope sanity will prevail and you will not face issues for sharing your experience.
You r so right my friend I totally agree with you I am Pakistani and when I see these just positive videos it feels good but I do fear some time what if those things happenes to the foreigners (what you have mentioned) the reputation of our struggling country will flush down.Thank you so much for mentioning these problems in a very positive way🙏💕
Dont bark like 🐕 dog..You are INDIAN NOT PAKISTANI..
Seriously u think this is polite way? ???!!!!
@@faujishakeel it may not be polite way but her points arent bad. Theyre quite good points, though some are definitely exaggerated.
@@talhatariqyuluqatdis yeah *some of her points are true*but the way she describes it is very wrong and over exagurated
Nawaz Sharif ki aulaad
I watched carefully all video,
I think this was more then critisizm for correction.
Pakistan welcome mannered people.
It’s immensely brave of you to talk about this. People don’t like having their views challenged, especially positive ones. As a local Pakistani, i can confirm some of the things she has said. The whole visa and ‘security’ checks thing I don’t know about, but yeah travellers do need to be aware of this stuff.
White people have an easier time because they look foreign. People get excited because white people are painted as paragons, and many locals don’t get to see ‘foreigners’ very often.
Many people are also very ‘traditional’. They’ll probably judge you for a lot of things. People also get angered easily when they’re beliefs are challenged, even if they have no right to that anger.
And men do make up much of the crowds you see in public, which makes traveling very daunting for women. Even me and my mum feel apprehensive going to largely male spaces even if we have important work to do there.
I’m not trying to spread hate, but this is the reality of things. Pakistan is a great country that deserves more respect than it gets, and its great that travelers like it, but those who plan on visiting need to know this stuff. Especially non-white women.
Edit: I’ve also heard Indians get treated very well. That’s great! But the concept of white people as the only type of foreigners is still very persistent. People just like foreigners in general. Again, we don’t get a lot if international traffic, so people get excited when you tell them you’re not a local. I just want people to know that. It’s not a bad thing. But you can’t expect any specific kind of treatment when you visit.
Very well said. But critics are always healthy and for sure the good time is ahead.
Lol shes a paid westerns to paint pakistan in a bad image and you freshies are eating it up
being a pakistani im gratefully thank u for these points which u arise in this video.plz keep doing this work because such peoples like you is our mirror .when u came next time inshallah your mind will change
I am a PAKISTANI and i agree with her...
she is saying true...
BUT
THERE is a reason behind it....
nearly a decade ago pakistan was facing terorism and pakistani armed forces worked against it day and night just to eliminate terrorism from pakistan.. And the most impressive fact about pakistan anti terrorism operation is ...
PAKISTAN army has sacrifised more soldiers than any other country just for eliminating terrorism from pakistan... And results are clear PAKISTAN is terrorism free country now as i am a living proof ..
THE POINT IS
intelligence agencies of pakistan are strict just because there are still some factors working around the glob just to disturb the peace of PAKISTAN ..
that is the reason why pakistan intelligence agencies are so active in pakistan..

Thanks for taking time to make this productive video. Best wishes for your future endeavours.
Well, to be honest, I watched this video about 4 years ago and instantly disliked it. At that time, I wasn't open to criticism and I always thought that any form of criticism, whether it was constructive or not, was a bad thing. But now, since I have learned the value of criticism, this video makes a lot of sense. I really appreciate you for traveling around my country, especially in the Pashtunkhwa Province.
she is the same girl who goes to different MacDonalds and ask for the managers..
by saying things like that you're not harming her, but defaming us Pakistanis.
@Mr K it's not complaining genius, it's criticism. Pakistanis are unable to accept criticism because of a typical one track mind. For example, if the management of MacDonalds actually listened to what she had to say - they won't be losing millions of rupees every year.

@Mr K yeah and its a shame that its not managed properly.
@@DevilSVessel my family travelled Northern Pakistan 2 months ago. Pakistani travellers are more than foreigners and you can't expect someone to gift you everything but they still greet with smile while the extra protocol is given to the foreigners like the way you have no respect in your house but might have (I assume) as a guest in your friend's house.
Always takes criticism positive way my friend there always need improvement in every departments.
Criticism shouldn't be silenced and you have presented sound arguments

@@moviesmadness6448 I know exactly what you are saying it was much the same for so long and is still not totally eliminated in Indonesia and people always seem to equate Islam with Terrorism and that is a big mistake, They either forget or simply are unaware of such things a The Communist problems across Asia with terrible attrocities committed then the biggest Joke would be Nelson Mandela and even worse his Wife who was responsible for a horrific form of torture known in South Africa as the Necklace.
In fact if you search the archives of Amnesty International you will see Nelson Mandelas ANC listed as a Marxist Terrorist organisation and they refused to give Mandela any form of help or aid whilst imprisoned until the Corrupt and Contemptible United Nations put pressure on most likely due to influence from the USA.
Since then Mandela has been held up as a beacon of Freedom and nothing could be further from the Truth.
Sadly there are many Mandelas across the World, But in the vast majority of cases the normal people who make up the majority of people worldwide regardless of Ethnicity, Religion or Culture are decent wonderful friendly helpful people.
Literally the only foreign vlogger making a video that is representing the travel situation here and the gora complex properly. Thank you for it...
You are out of your mind? look at what she is doing and you are supporting her? don't be a blind follower ask her for evidence at least. 4 achi baatain kr k 8 beech mai apni rkh gai or hum well done kehrhy hain?
You need to rewatch the video again , you will see she wants local Pakistani influencer vloggers and foreign influencers to promote Pakistan together not just white foreigners. Such talented Pakistani influencer vloggers who can promote the country to be a representative but why they weren't invited to the summit. Behind the scenes of alot of the big channel gora vloggers , it is talented local Pakistani that are driving them to the places, telling them where to go etc. So she is saying that should be represented as well.
Thank you for your honesty. I've been researching Pakistan for more than an hour now and your the only one who has explained the risks.
I agree with you and we will try to make it better
thanks for your opinion, suggestions.
I agree she has the right to show her opinion and it does not mean you guys became offensive
1) Change the title of the video, most of the people who are hating on you haven't watched the entirety of the video and the title just misleads them into thinking you are against or don't believe in a positive image of Pakistan being projected to the western world.
2) Your video is more directed towards independent travelers who come to Pakistan without the assistance of a local tourism agency, most local tourism agencies are adept at dealing with complicated bureaucratic processes and obtaining your NOCs and Visas well before your arrival in Pakistan. If you are hosted by a local, they need to notify the security agencies about your itinerary and along with your passport details, you won't be bothered by the agencies if they know who you are? what the intent of your visit is and most importantly where you will be on any given day. Also the armed escorts are only given to you in sensitive areas like Peshawar and interior regions with a history of violence. The conduct of the guard harassing that British sounding lady is despicable and it would help her fellow travelers a lot if she could file a complaint against him. My experience with security provided to foreigners has always been positive, which is not say that it cannot be otherwise.
3) Local influencers are not given the same level of respect because 1) yes we do have a gora complex, 2) because most of them are from the cities and major hubs and tend to behave haughtily around indigenous peoples of various regions, some might even do it without even being aware of it. Accents and modes of carrying yourself differ from place to place in Pakistan, if you're in Hunza flashing your expensive equipment and talking to the locals in a prideful tone, you are likely not to get the same respect regardless of your colour. The same will be the case in the tribal regions of KPK, or the interior sindh. White - or non desi influencers are commonly treated with respect because they 'usually' ,emphasis on the usually, behave in a manner befitting a guest. Smile and speak with humility and most, if not all Pakistani's will return your kindness.
I really liked your video, it highlights a lot of issues and provides solutions for them but positive media coverage serves to combat the already prevalent negative image of Pakistan and is not dangerous but much needed especially by foreign travelers.

Hey I never knew about you till I started to love watching tourism in Pakistan videos. This is the first video that I watched on your channel. So after so many amazingly positive videos that I saw about Pakistan I also loved to watch your video and want to agree to all of your concerns. I'm really sorry for you not getting the opportunity to talk on the summit but as you said you still have a voice. Thanks for having such a great heart and for much thought full concerns about Pakistan and for the people who wanna visit here. As a Pakistani I welcome all my fellow tourists be it white or local. I appreciate you all. Thank you for doing what you do and InshaAllah one day the world would know that we have the best tourism spots in the world. Love from Karachi.
I totally agree with you, but its the fact that a lot of foreigner tourist and NGOs were involved in some Suspicious Activities. I'm giving an example search her Name ''Tereza hluskova'' And there is a long list of these kinds of incidents. May it clear your concept.
All fake propaganda She gave speech at Pakistan Tourist summit and also meet imran khan personally.
All the videos and pictures were leaked on internet to expose her lie just to get some fame.
Thank you for your honesty, let’s hope you’re heard & your observations are looked into and worked on
I agree. Sadly many people won't understand your valid positive criticism. You are awesome. Please keep coming to Pakistan.

*I understand that you're brown and couldn't get the same attention that other travelers did (because we are welcoming to the foreigners and whites are easy to be identified as foreigners -- common sense!) and you clearly seem pretty pissed about it..but the way you're presenting these facts kind of show your envious side that is not nice.*
Alex take it as healthy criticism. 😋 Just kidding, never mind. :p
Don't disrespect her views, it shows that don't believe in freedom of speech. Good and bad people are everywhere, so is in Pakistan. At the end of the video, she still admires the beauty of Pakistan.
No
HAHA yeah right!!!!!! Well it's obvious that you won't take any responsibility once other Travelers get into trouble. I totally agree with what she said as confirmed by my own Pakistani boss here at work.
Dear you are Right... But Even then We as Pakistanis Respect her Point of View.. and Love Her ...
really appreciate your honesty.... tourism can be a huge contribution to our economy and that's exactly how we should think about it, critically. its a shame that in my country voices of reason are always silenced. on behalf of my whole country i am sorry.
Alex, thank you for your sincere and honest feedback, I wish we Pakistanis have courage and honesty to accept our flaws!
She is right in many aspects. As Pakistan goes to promote itself, it needs to safeguard all the tourists and make sure proper facilitations are provided to ensure a smooth stay. Let there not be any negative experiences coming from these tourists.
As a Pakistani, ALL OF THIS IS TRUE AND WE NEED TO FIX THESE ISSUES ASAP! Much love to you for making this awesome video!

10:00 this summit was supposed to promote tourism internationally, not to local people. so like you said that alot of talented people were working on tourism, but did that help? foreigner tourist look for reviews from foreigners, not Pakistanis. if a Pakistani says it thousand time that Pakistan is safe to travel, no one would care but if a foreigner say it just ONCE ! everyone will belief. thats the reason the summit had foreigners
Agree!
Everyone PLEASE!, we must hear everyone out and improve ourselves. We must allow open criticism about all aspects of our country including religion and culture. If we don't do this then we won't grow as a society, our minds will become stagnant and stagnant water often smells you know. ( Defeat not the demon outside but the demon within)

@@shayansikander996 Regardless, we must be willing to hear criticism in order to improve ourselves continuously. An intelligent person is always hesitant about himself, where as a fool has absolute confidence that he is always right. ( Rather than love, faith or fame, give me truth)
I agree with you but what she said is wrong about gora complex special treatment is for foreigners if you look like a local no one will give you special treatment so first of all are they here to get free food or gifts come on so why she so salty about that second I agree there might be some cases about bribery yeah but it's pretty normal it can happen and we are sorry for that and about interrogation well I suppose you haven't been to USA yet cuz if you had visited you must have known what they treat us like and how our security officials treated them 3rd it's on visa ISLAMIC REPUBLIC OF PAKISTAN should ring a bell about something and you don't go to a country without any research so about holding hands and kiss you can find pretty easily while you research so I don't understand the gora complex i have seen Indian volggers getting special treatment like others so I don't get the point and yeah they won't let you go deep down sindh cuz its unsafe even for a local so she doesn't make sense
Hey Alex u r genuine & creative girl worked tremendously for pakistan, we pakistanis love u alot alex...keep vlogging in pak
I'm from Pakistan and I see most of your points are valid. We will try to fix our short comings hopefully. You are always welcome here.

I am a Pakistani and I want to thank you for pointing out such important matters. To all Pakistanis: Please respect constructive criticism. It's rare and it's important to hear to it today before it's too late.
Her comments are positive, the main issue she wanted to address was the security forces influence, but that is because of your own security, because there might be foreign intruders that might try to sabotage the tourism in Pak. So be happy with security measurements..
The security forces were also harassing women and asking for bribes. I have personally witnessed this when travelling back to Pakistan also. Bribery and harassment is rampant in the police and other security forces
Security and harassment is diff and being traveling outside of pak. You customs are the first ppl who ask for bribes 🤣. Not everyone is same but for sure some might had problems so if their is feed back we should tale and it an improve it.
I agree, this lady talk about to kiss in public, definitely, every country have its own cultural ethics and moral values you cant do sexual activity (Chuma chati) in public plus she might have an unethical dressing ( near to nude) that's why security is there to stop the unethical activity.
I am Pakistani but I completely agree with you. most of the things you said will actually benefit the tourism. I don't know why so many people think you are wrong

Thank you, sister, for your succinct and honest analysis of prevalent issues ( bureaucratic, social and cultural, etc.)with regard to solo traveling in Pakistan and their solutions. And indeed they must be addressed accordingly by the government of Pakistan. Being a native Pakistani and living abroad I am able to suss out your concerns better in terms of Korean proverb "change locations and think", rather than the English equivalent “put yourself in someone else’s shoes. The latter limit your capacity to see their problem and the broader context more objectively. In the end, I must say you are very articulate and visually expressive.
Thank You for making this video. I am a Pakistani and I totally agree with all the points discussed here wonderfully, since many of my foreigner friends have time to time highlighted issues like these while travelling in Pakistan. I hope Eva sees this and it would be interesting to see her response on this.
This is such a valid criticism and thanks for sharing it, As a Pakistani, I completely agree with you on all the points you mentioned, people like you must be included in any kind of Tourism Department, very logical and creative criticism. Once again Thanks
Dear Alex,
First of all you are welcome to Pakistan again n again n again…
but not as a gora traveler …..we will respect you as human being.
I am bit confused, if someone is good with u, hosts u or tries to help u, u put a tag of so-called “gora complex”...
.and if security people are concerned about you, you blame them as harassment to a women. Or to travelers..
It’s the other way around for many many people traveling to Pakistan they think that hospitality is part of our culture and its a strength rather than weakness
and security they are getting is for there safety...and its for free, we tax payers pay for your security(I hope that things improve in future)
I suggest that u should do some homework before commenting on something….if people r courteous to u esp as a women it is a culture of Pakistan and Islam that we treat u as a guest, not because of gora…
1:HARASSMENT from security agencies Mandatory armed escorts
as Pakistanis we have been through hell regarding terrorism in last 15 years
from mosques to churches
from road side hotels to 5 star hotels
from bus stations to airports
from military installation to a private property
from highways to streets
from residential areas to commercial markets,
parks, places of worship, religious gatherings. Ceremonies, concerts…even the hospitals.. Madam u name it
and if security people are concerned about you, you blame them as harassment to a women..or to travelers .. u just said you have travelled 60 countries, so till now you should have a better temperament as a traveler sorry to say u lack a bit ,
God forbid if there are have 100 bomb blasts in any European country or in USA and ur tourist economy is threatened for example Paris than u will be in a better state of mind to understanding… Harassment from security agencies n Mandatory armed escorts….and in our cast it was not the tourist economy it was an existential threat to us…
I am hosting travelers from my school days from more than 35 years, I was never harassed by any security agency, so don’t plant things which doesn’t have a solid proof and if u r looking for exceptions you will always find something to object but u need to know you don’t live in a perfect world, and as I said earlier after traveling 60 countries u should have developed some positive temperament to coexist.
2:Unofficial travel restrictions
Yes they need to make things more clear
3:Unclear bureaucratic procedures
This can be concern for some but my experience is that I found most of the bureaucratic procedures very clear like visa extension etc
Why don’t u forgot to mention that Pakistan is most probably (one of my Belgian friend who travelled 90 countries told me) the only country in the world which gives u 6 months visa extension for free.
So in the end I would say Madam there must be things which needs improvement in Pakistani tourism no one is denying that but U need to be bit more positive about what others do to u and keep in mind the language and cultural differences and enjoy diversity because as a experienced traveler (60 countries) u must know that as a traveler we don’t leave home for search of a home…
I hope next time when u visit Pakistan u won’t have pain in ASS (AS U SAID in ur vlog “PAKISTAN IS ACTUALLY A PAIN IN THE ASS TO TRAVEL IN’) and peace should prevail forever in PAKISTAN.
love from Pakistan

Next stop india?

Thank you for doing that.

This is not criticism; this is blackmailing. She when to meet Prime Minister. why she didn't tell him? she made a video and tell the world, don't go to Pakistan. she did speak to conference, she is liar. Get up! this good what we do to them is our weakness and they are using it against us. Stop her pointing finger on us. Tell her to go to US first where they undress my country's prime minister on the name of security.
First time to watch your vlog ...
It's very informative and educational...
Kudos for being honest about some issues ..
Travel goals ...PAKISTAN♥️
Welcome to Pakistan. A medley of exotic places, people and color.
Dear Alex I, as a student of M.A in planning and management of tourism systems completely agree with every single point you raised!
People as well as the government have closed their eyes by the fact that the current model of promoting tourism in Pakistan is not sustainable at all !!! Social media hypes falls down more quickly than they rise . What will happen if few influencers will share videos of not very good experiences?
Your feedback and critical approach to the issues are very useful. If i were at any influential position I must have let all the concerning people listen to you.
I really appreciate that despite all the possible criticism you stood up and said what had to be said.
Thank you very much !
i think she is right... The stupid government needs to correct its course rather than remaining in denial ( which is in their DNA)...
You layer way because i gave u respect shame on you
As a Pakistani I support your analysis. I hope government and people both should take these concerns serously. Thanks.
10:46 again you are comparing two different cultures. why you comparing us with india? they have different culture than ours.

There is something called #constructiveCriticism
Beta, tum sab se ziada SUFFER karogay - she is a genuine tourist and influencer as her blog proves:

Lying about what exactly. None of these comments specify
@@jakemarten9405 Nothing - they are getting butthurt about hearing the truth for once
@@jakemarten9405 Most influencers are too nice to say anything bad about countries they visit and get the royal treatment so have very little to complain in the first place. This girl is absolutely correct in saying that the common tourist does not enjoy the same experience.
I totally agree with you, actually it is more than that, it is considered taboo if someone from here in Pakistan tries to self-critisize, or just say someone points towards something, he/she is believed to be some kind of alien. Dissent is never allowed. Their is ego behind every thing, they have very wrong perceptions regarding foreign people, and they keep boosting the same.
Are you mental gora compex😂😂😂 we all know darrey Sammy is a black guy from West indeas but almost every person in pakistan love him and respect him even he also admitted this many time you are totally wrong
Darren Sammy is a very poor example. He is not only black but also a cricketer who came to Pakistan at a very crucial time. When there was almost no international cricket in Pakistan.
I am from Rawalpindi, and I can tell you, the place where my family lived, where I was born, it was called Qasimabad. My family moved out to a different distant place about 10 years ago, but I still go there from time to time as my relatives still live there. It is not as much developed place as some other areas of Rawalpindi. There black people from poor African countries living there who don't get half as much respect as Darren Sammy. So yes, Darren Sammy is a poor example here. He is not respected because he is a foreigner and/or black, but also a great cricketer who came to Pakistan when many didn't, at a very crucial time for Pakistan, and a great guy at heart.
Don't disrespect our country like this. Are you just telling the world that you're least capable of handling the constructive criticism??? If you're unable to think out of the box or just acknowledge that there are issues to be addressed in the right manner, Please avoid coming to these videos and showing your love for your country in an absolute ridiculous way.
Darren sammy is a cricketer. Let's talk about normal black guys who aren't famous
So interesting and all of your comments are SO VALID!
