Item Introducing high end luxury glamping domes resort(UMT.Lahore, 2020) SARMAD NASIR BHATTI; MUHAMMAD SABIR; TALAL SHAFI; SIFAT ULLAH KHAN; SHANZA MAQSOODIncrease in the tourism flow always brings positive effects to the economy of the nations, particularly in the job opportunities and GDP of the country. Pakistan is the country with vast natural and cultural resources that can be used for sustainable tourism. It is estimated by the Federal and provincial government that tourism will add US$7.1 billion to the overall national economy till 2025 therefore this sector must be taken into consideration. It is seen that these areas are still lacking the basic facilities including health and safety, cleanliness, proper road and sanitation system etc. The hotels present in these areas are not up to the mark. Some of the good hotels present there are demanding more than the economical price for the single night to stay. The local and international tourist visiting these areas always demand basic equipments for the recreational activities like hiking, boating etc which is not readily available. Security of the tourist is another issue as these areas doesn’t have any medical camps, first aid services or the emergency services available at the blink of eye. Keeping in view the these problems, we can done a research in this regard. This research is generally focused on the improvement of the tourism facility in these areas. For that we have conducted a feasibility analysis for the construction of glamping pods resort in the area of Kumrat, Pakistan. A detailed questionnaire was filled by the tourists and the travel agents to get an insight of the demanding facilities and services by the tourist. These demands are taken into consideration and we are looking forward to meet these demands in this tourism facility.
