Tourism is a major driver of GDP for any country. For countries who are blessed with beautiful sceneries and breathe taking mountains, tourism is very important. Pakistan is blessed with such places that make you stand in awe of its beauty. Global economies who manage to successfully monetize on this are able to get a bit chunk of GDP solely based on tourism. Pakistan has been slow in monetizing from its nature-gifted beauty; however, better late than never – right?
In order to contribute to our GDP, the tourism industry needs to improve in terms of ease of traveling and infrastructure. It’s good to see that Pakistan has started to take tourism seriously; however, it didn’t happen overnight. It took many local travelers to show the world, the real beauty of Pakistan.
Here we list our top travel vloggers in Pakistan. The vloggers are chosen on the basis of content, humor, and ability to engage the audience. 2018 was the breakthrough year of Pakistan’s tourism industry, where many local vloggers started recording their trips on the northern side of Pakistan. The ability to record the trips in a way that shows the real image of Pakistan and the hidden gems that our country has is truly remarkable. Here are our selected top 5 vloggers.
Mystapaki
Let’s talk about Bilal Hassan aka Mystapaki. This guy is my favorite vlogger from Pakistan, simply because he is a master of storytelling. He shares his love for Karachi on his Instagram with catchy captions and beautiful stories. His work is inspired by HONY (Humans of New York). Bilal said: “I was certainly inspired by HONY’s style of storytelling. I created a hashtag on my page, #touristsinkhi, where I share stories of tourists I’ve met in Karachi. I let them write the captions themselves whereby they share their travel experiences with Karachi and Pakistan.”
He shows the beauty of every city he visits and also includes a background story for these images which helps viewers learn more about different cities. Here’s what Bilal had to say about his aim for vlogging.
“The main aim was to humanize Karachi to Pakistan and the world. One picture at a time I’d open up a window for the outside world. I wanted people to start to view the city the way I see it,”
He wants tourists to get in touch with the local people as opposed to relying on guide books because locals can help in learning about new places that you wouldn’t know.
