Man behind TP
Khawaja Khalid Mushtaq is the head of Tourplanner.pk, which is a Lahore Based start up. He elaborated the start up objective by saying,
Our target market is dedicated to the local customer, considering we are charging them much less than that to a foreign client. Tourplanner.pk has been set apart in terms of cost efficiency, which would promote both tourism and the hotel with whom we are in collaboration with.
Tourplanner.pk is one of the companies being incubated with Plan9 tech incubator.
TourPlanner is considerably a good effort in wake of all the security threats in the country. We have seen that the Tourism industry has been badly affected due to the terrorist activities in the region. Especially after attacks on the foreigners, this industry has been in crises.
Not only the foreigners, locals also stopped planning their holiday. I guess TourPlanner will do the work of a cool breeze in this critical situation.
