The analysts say that though the government has overwhelmingly claimed to have purged the Country of militancy and kicked off a massive drive to promote tourism in the Country. However, such narrative by the government is being badly blown away by terror-related incidents, indicating that the Country is yet to wait for conducive environment to expect for a tourists’ influx.
