Maritime Tourism Potential of Lasbela District (Pakistan): The Course of Sustainability

Abstract

For a coastal state, the domain of Maritime Tourism is crucial for enhancing the capacity of maritime affairs. An integrated approach is required to address issues that link marine tourism with the country’s inland tourism and policies. With the growing population burst, coastal cities are immensely under pressure as they host more individuals than inland cities. Moreover, coastal cities possess significantly smaller land areas than non-coastal ones. As a coastal state, Pakistan has considerable resources to become an emerging blue economy. This study emphasizes Pakistan’s Balochistan province, specifically the area occupied by the Lasbela district. It reveals a domestic sketch of the tourist attractions of Lasbela and provides a way for policymakers to take a deep insight into current needs, future challenges, and opportunities for sustainable development. This study underlines descriptive research and uses a longitudinal design to increase the clarity of the subject.
