Tourism means traveling for recreation and enjoyment. Most people who do long term jobs or
stay at home for a long time badly need a trip to a calm and relaxing place, so that they can give
rest to their mind. Tourism is an activity in which a person goes from one place to another,
which provides him with a kind of pleasure, satisfaction, happiness, and a relaxing moment.
There are two types of tourism domestic tourism and international tourism. Domestic tourism
is an activity in which a person travels to any famous or local destination or any place within the
country. For example, if you are Pakistani and live in Peshawar, Pakistan, and make a trip to the
Hunza valley, this will be an example of domestic tourism. International tourism involves
tourists who visit different countries around the world. For instance, if I am from Pakistan and I
visit UAE for a trip, it will be called international tourism. Now we are going to discuss some
psychological benefits of tourism;

Tourism help people who are suffering from depression:

Traveling is not a complete treatment of depression, but it can make you feel better. Let me
explain how traveling helps you to fight depression. Meeting new people and making friends is
the best treatment of depression. Loneliness is an addictive and hazardous thing. It can also
count as a disease. So that's why meeting new people and exploring new places can heal your
health condition and make you feel better and happier than before. Nature can be your best
friend and also a sound therapy of depression. Exploring nature makes you closer to yourself
and naturally makes you feel better and gives you a feeling of comfort and satisfaction. The
more new places or destinations you explore, it will make you feel better both physically and
mentally, and most importantly, it will help you overcome depression and anxiety.

Tourism and increased feelings of intimacy:

When a couple travels for their honeymoon after marriage, it makes their relationship with
each other better and stronger because you spend more time together, and it will increase your
understanding, and the trust start building more perfectly. In a place where you don't know any
person, your partner is the only one who makes you feel comfortable and better. Traveling
together make you less stress and build the new language of love and romance. It's also a fact
couples who travel more, experience better sexual relationships, and a happy life—traveling
together as a couple makes your relationship more durable. When you spend every second
with your other half, it strengthens your connection. You learn to be respectful with each other
and learn to help and rely on each other. You try to enjoy every second of that time together,
and also you know things and feelings which you didn't know about your partner before. You
learn to divided responsibility with each other according to each other's strengths.

Traveling promote brain health:

Traveling promote overall brain health because when you explore new places or destination
you have to walk a lot and in that, you lose so much of your energy and it makes you tired, and
so you feel sleepy and naturally need more sleep. A Happy and healthy sleep is not just good for
your brain but also helps calm your body, which makes your behavior more decent and kind,
and you get less rude and angry. It also heals you from negativity and makes your vision and
thoughts more positive and broad. Traveling also helps us in forgetting depressing memories
which happen in our life and also helps in getting rid of our adverse mood swings. Even doctors
and scientists also recommend traveling because it helps us in healing many mental and
psychological disorders.

Traveling and mindfulness:

Mindfulness means focusing on the sounds, smell, and touch. If you go to a calming place like
Hunza and Skardu, you can practice this technique and find it more effective. Traveling is an
opportunity to calm your mind. We all become exhausted with our daily life. Traveling is a
perfect way to give your mind rest and exploring the peaceful and most relaxing place in the
world, which helps you to find your inner peace inside yourself. Not just physically but mentally,
you heal yourself with traveling. All the experience you gain from traveling helps you to make
your life better and stress-free. That the real value of traveling.

Traveling can make you more creative:

Yes, traveling can make you creative when you visit a different country or place you experience
a new kind of culture and meet with varying people of the nation, which gives you mature
thought. It increases your knowledge about them, and when you are traveling, you are away
from your daily home or office routine, and you explore nature, and it's a fantastic beauty.
Traveling also helps you to learn and experience the different languages of people and gives us
new ideas which give us a unique perspective to think about the world and increasing our
understanding of life. Writers get new characters for their drama, and films and artists get new
ideas to paint and convey their feelings.

SEARCHING FOR—AND FINDING—THE NORTHERN LIGHTS IS ON MANY BUCKET LISTS BUT THIS NOCTURNAL SHOW CAN BE ELUSIVE. HERE ARE YOUR BEST BET DESTINATIONS FOR SEEING THE AURORA BOREALIS.

It was late when the front desk guy at the hostel said, “There’s a good chance to see the Northern Lights tonight if you want to venture out.”

I was lounging in the common room in my cozy pants and a sweatshirt, contemplating bed. But the lure of was too great; I bundled up with the layers I’d packed, started my rental car, and made my way to the backroads of Vik, Iceland as recommended. There, alternating between starting the car for heat and (mostly) patiently waiting, I kept my eyes focused on the horizon.

When the green glow appeared, I almost thought I was imagining it. But the glow grew stronger until waves of lime green light undulated over the mountains. I was spellbound; I watched until my toes were tiny blocks of ice and my fingers were stiff. I didn’t even take out my camera—I didn’t want to miss a moment trying to capture it.

One of the most unforgettable experiences in the frozen north is searching for the Northern Lights. Part of the draw is the fact that there’s no guarantee that you’ll see them—each sighting is unique and special. However, there are certain locations, and certain times of year, offering a better chance of seeing the Aurora Borealis. These are the five best locations in the world to spot the Northern Lights, as well as when you should visit.

WHAT ARE THE NORTHERN LIGHTS?

But first, science:

The Northern Lights are caused by electrically charged particles from the sun as they hit the Earth’s magnetic field. The magnetic poles of the northern and southern hemispheres attract this “solar wind,” and the particles create the light show we see. The intensity of the lights depends on the activity of the sun, and the acceleration speed of these particles. Several apps forecast potential activity, like the My Aurora Forecast app, to help narrow down potential sighting windows, but nothing is guaranteed.

ICELAND

Because of its location close to the North Pole, Iceland is a prime destination for seeing the Northern Lights. In general, you might see the lights at any time from September to mid-April; November to February is touted as prime time as they’re the darkest months. When the Lights are active, they can be seen in Reykjavik, but your best bet is to venture away from the city. Several tour operators offer excursions from Reykjavik to chase the Northern Lights, but spending a few nights afield is a better bet for seeing them.

NORWAY

Norway is one of the most popular destinations for catching the Northern Lights because of the amount of land that lies above the Arctic Circle. Though it may be possible to see the lights in the summer months, visiting between October and January is a better statistical bet as the nights are longer and darker. Some of the more popular towns in Norway to see the Aurora Borealis include Tromso (tons of tours), the Lofoten Islands (dramatic displays over the picturesque landscape), and Senja (see the lights reflected in the Norwegian fjords).

FINLAND

Like Norway, much of northern Finland is located above the Arctic Circle and an ideal spot for Northern Lights watching. Fact: The Northern Lights are visible on roughly 200 nights a year—or every other clear night—in Finnish Lapland. Head to Rovaniemi and you’ll find tours that will offer a chance to see the lights but be forewarned: with upwards of 30 people on some of these tours, they’re not as quiet and contemplative as you might expect. If you want a more individual experience, try a snowshoe, cross-country skiing, or snowmobile and sled dog tour.

SCOTLAND

Yep, Scotland. Though it may not immediately spring to mind when you think of the Northern Lights, the remote Shetland Islands are a fantastic viewing spot. Because Shetland lies closer to the North Pole than any other part of the British Isles, on a clear night you can easily see the Aurora Borealis several times, whether it’s lower intensity displays or the huge swaths of color you’d expect.

ALASKA

You don’t have to go overseas to see the Northern Lights—Alaska is the best spot in the U.S. to see the lights. Like other locations, the best time to catch the lights is in winter, from late September to early April when the nights are the longest. Though you can see the lights all over the state, Fairbanks is the most reliable spot as it’s geographically under the “aurora oval,” where auroras are seen most frequently. Several tour companies offer excursions from there. Talkeetna, near Denali National Park, is another hot spot for the Aurora Borealis but the same tips for other locations apply for Alaska—the farther from the city you venture, the easier it is to see the show.

Air travel adviceWe do more travelling most of the time and sometimes we have to do air travel, because going to most of the international destination requires air traveling. Do you know the fact that now you can reach up to 5000+ International destinations on the Earth like most of the people can approach multiple places?  We humans often do the mistakes for the purpose of travelling through. Many people often think that they are not doing any kind of mistake but reality is the fact humans can do mistakes and errors are also done by them.

I have made list of major air traveling mistakes so that you might avoid them next time for the purpose of living.

List Of Air Traveling Mistakes

Booking At Exact Time

If you do booking at exact time, then price of the air ticket will also remain very high. You have to concentrate on the advance booking for the purpose of reservation. If you will book the air ticket at the same time then price will be higher of all of the tickets. This mistake is one of the greatest ones which is done by many people at the same time for purpose of air traveling. You should advance booking so that price of the air ticket should be very less and you should not be cheated through. You can use the following time frames for the advance booking of air tickets like.

  • 30 Days Before Traveling
  • 60 Days Before Traveling
  • 90 Days Before Traveling

This advance booking is very beneficial in number of ways that you get price of air ticket very cheap as compared to direct booking on the time. We suggest you always to try the advance booking so that you might get air ticket rate in an extremely affordable price. Faremakers.com first online travel company, Pakistan provides special fares to the customer of various airlines. You must book PIA Air Tickets from the company so that they might be fewer problems. Our sales staff with almost present, every time you can contact them, especially head office of the company remains available for your assistance.

Not Using Best Flight Deals

Some of the people also not use the best flight deals for the booking of Cheap Airline Tickets. Best airline promotion must be used by all of the clients so they get the discount which is available in the price of air ticket. Some of the offers contain buy one get one free ticket option, others this might include transit Hotel stay free of cost but it depends on the airline which provide such kind of Hotel stay. Many promotions offer huge percentage of discount so that the passengers could easily book air tickets for themselves. Enjoy your traveling using the promotion of airline. You must checkout which promotion is also being used by other customers because sometimes a passenger book the promotion which many other people also booking! You must beware of these mistakes and try not to repeat them.

Travel in Pakistan after covidPakistan topped up the traveler’s list of the best holiday destination for 2019-2020. Many travellers had planned a trip around the world but because of the worldwide outbreak of COVID-19 pandemic, people cancelled all their trips, which had a significant impact on our tourism economy. Social-Distancing, Self-Isolating, not leaving our houses has just stopped our tourism industry. After COVID-19, will Pakistan remain the best holiday destination, or will it change? I think no, Pakistan will not stay the best holiday destination because the countries that are recovering from COVID-19 like New-Zealand, China, are working on their tourism economy very hard. After the COVID-19 pandemic will finally end, people will not go to places immediately, but when they get normalized, they will prefer to go to places where the recovery rate was better.

Tourists and Their Plans:

People had planned trips to Pakistan for 2020, but the worldwide outbreak of COVID-19 pandemic started, so they cancelled all their plans and started self-isolating themselves. But what will happen after COVID-19? People will re-schedule their plans and will think that money has no importance, and they will try to visit more places.

Impact on tourism economy:

The United Nations World Tourism Organization said that the tourism economy will decrease around 20/30 % in 2020 and will have a significant impact on the tourism economy across the world. All countries will have a loss of approximately 800-900 billion dollars because of coronavirus. Pakistan tourism economy has a negative impact, and after COVID-19, Pakistan will have to work really hard to get our reputation back.

Business Tours:

Business travel is also affected. Those people who travel abroad for business meetings are affected. They cannot work with more prominent clients. After COVID-19 pandemic business travel will increase all across the world. According to a survey, 88% of small businesses owner enjoy business travel. Business mans are under stress due to the present situation and are waiting for the pandemic too end as soon as possible.

Impact on domestic tourism:

For the most part, domestic tourism is not being that affected compared to international tourism, but the visitors are rude to the staff of hotels and restaurants because they are not getting rooms due to government orders. After the pandemic of COVID-19, the tourism economy will have a tremendous positive impact. People would travel a lot because they are bored and want to have some enjoyment. After COVID-19, the government will recommend to wear masks.

Impact on international tourism:

International tourism has been affected most because of the worldwide COVID-19 pandemic.

People had made a lot of plans for 2020 to travel all across the world. Those countries which have started airlines are not letting people who do not have masks. After the pandemic international tourism will increase significantly. Those people who have jobs abroad are waiting for the international flights to resume.

Impact on small business:

The small business on the Murree side, Kalam side etc., are being affected because people are not leaving their houses.  Due to COVID-19, people are not going to Murree side, and the small businesses are not running well. People used to feed monkeys corn, but nowadays, no one is going to that side. Due to which the corn businesses on the road side are suffering.

Sports tourism:

Sports tourism is also affected—people who love sports and love to travel for competitions. Due to the pandemic of COVID-19, all the matches have been delayed. After the pandemic of COVID-19, the sports matches will resume. COVID-19 has completely changed the sports criteria. Online racing have been started and internet is playing a major role in sports. As you know, the matches of PSL have been delayed and will restart in November. The rate of domestic and international tourism will increase because of sports.

Religious tourism:

As the pandemic of COVID-19 is increasing severely. This harms religious tourism. Muslims go to Saudi-Arabia for hajj, but because of C0VID-19, all the religious activities have been cancelled, and after the COVID-19 will finally end, all the religious activities will be resumed. Most of the Sikhs from India come to Pakistan to perform their religious activities in the Gurdwara of Guru Nanak in Kartarpur. But due to the prevailing situation no one is allowed to visit religious places.

Historical tourism:

Historical tourism is also affected because of coronavirus. People who love history or historical places like Mohenjo-Daro in Sindh and Taxila in Punjab are eagerly waiting for the pandemic to end. After the outbreak of COVID-19, people would travel a lot after being recovered from the present condition.

Medical or health tourism:

COVID-19 is a medical crisis. People who have medical issues that cannot be solved in their country have to travel abroad for their treatment. As COVID-19 has started, they cannot visit for their treatment. The patients are waiting for the pandemic to end so that they can go for their treatment. This will also increase international tourism.

Conclusion:

Because of the worldwide outbreak of COVID-19 pandemic people are trapped in their houses and are disappointed and cancelled their plans of 2020. Many businesses are going through loss, and still, the vaccine is not developed. COVID-19 has severely affected tourism of all types. Pakistan, who has topped up the traveler’s list for the best holiday destination of 2019-2020, is facing many problems in the tourism industry. Pakistan tourism is waiting for the pandemic to end so they can allow tourists and support the economy of the country. In my opinion, after the pandemic, tourism will increase, and Pakistan will have an overflow of tourists.

Up till now, you have read a lot of articles about the trip to Swat valley but in this article, I will tell you about my own adventurous trip to Swat. Swat valley is the 15th largest district of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province and is famous for its lush green forests, pine meadows and snow-capped mountains and the beautiful weather. Swat’s beauty is centered by Swat River and was the centre of Gandhara civilization so if you are either passionate about archaeology or a nature freak Swat valley is the most suitable pace for you to visit.

Swat is famous for its beauty, calmness, weather and hospitality.  But before that, you must know how to get ready for a trip, to a valley like Swat and what you must carry with yourself and how to enjoy your trip in the most extraordinary way.

How to arrange trip to Swat valley:

If you want to visit Swat valley you must know few things about how to arrange a trip. If you are going with family or friends all you need is to identify a route you will follow otherwise you will have a lot of problems on the journey.  After this, you should pack warm and moderate weather clothes and a pair of sneakers. So if you need to hike you are ready for it. If you have a four-wheeler then you are ready to travel and enjoy your fascinating journey to Swat valley but if not need not to worry there are a lot of travel agencies that arrange trips to Swat valley in reasonable rates. Now let me tell you about my trip to Swat valley and how we enjoyed the beauty of nature and the hiking we did and the roar of the river.

My adventurous trip to Swat valley:

Now I am going to narrate my all-time favourite Story of the trip to Swat valley after reading this you will be eager to visit this adventurous valley so in July 2019 I decided that I will visit Swat valley with my family it was my first time and previously listen a lot about Swat valley. All siblings were very excited and we all pack our bags and started our journey from Peshawar. We have already identified our route and my father who had previously lived in Swat were also well aware of the route so first, we entered Mardan which is a city in KPK and has a very historical background. We never have been to such a long and fascinating journey so the first thing we were looking forward was to see the river and to hear the roaring sound. After two to three hours we were nearly tired of the journey but the excitement to see the flowing river and to touch the water keep us motivated finally we entered the Malakand division and that road track around the mountain took our heart away and as we were going upward and the villages down were looking even more beautiful then we entered Mingora where there were gardens of fruits and all along the road this view keep refreshing our eyes . Finally we reached Fizagut from where our excitement and level of happiness was elevated when we saw the first site of the Swat River. We wanted to stop the car and touch the pure water and that thrilling sound of the river. Finally we park the car and entered the Fizagut park and had our lunch and touched the water and the view their was so catchy and relaxing that we capture it in our cameras forever. Then we started our journey to Bahrain in the middle we also stop at Madyan and throw stones in the river. When we entered Bahrain the weather was cold and we had  to wear sweaters. We book our hotel room and the room had a balcony   which I loved so much. Our hotel was at the edge of the river so we were able to hear the rushing sounds of the river and that moment was like living in heaven on earth as we know that Swat valley is the Switzerland of Pakistan then we decided to have dinner and went to a nearby hotel even the food there was so delicious. I still remember the taste of that chicken karahi and then we spent our night there. The weather was so cold that we have to wear shawls. Then the next morning we all wake up to get ready for our journey to Kalam valley.

Major places:

Kalam is one of the most famous tourist spots in Swat valley and in Kalam we can even feel the water touching our feet and enjoy river view. The water is so cold that your feet will freeze. It took five hours to reach Kalam because on one hand the road was under construction and at different spots there was high traffic because the road was bumpy and one way and on the other hand we didn’t have a four wheeler or a jeep. We were in a small car Mehran so imagine about the adventure we had. At one point our car was about to fall but the we come out of the car and had to hike. We also have to change the tyre in the mid then after reaching Kalam we decided to visit Oshu glacier. Our car was not I a condition to go there so we booked a car and started to climb the mountain. The pine meadows and the snowcapped mountains were waiting for us. We saw glacier for the first time and we even eat the glacier ice.

High altitude spot:

If you have decided to visit Swat then plan a trip to Malam Jabba because you cannot miss it. The climb to Malam Jabba was also very adventurous and as there is a saying “Hardships will pay off” at that day I came to know the real meaning of this and the chairlift was so amazing and the view was so beautiful and catchy that  I fell in love with it and I experience the chairlift for the first time in my life. The zip line there was even more fascinating  so you must try it.Those lush green trees and those clouds was like you are floating on the clouds and that cup of tea  and that weather and calmness cannot be found anywhere else . Finally our journey ended there. I also want you people to enjoy this journey and see the true colors of Pakistan. Hope that after reading my story so will not be feeling bore and will be eager to visit Swat valley “The Switzerland of Pakistan”.

Doctor Zakir Naik who is a known Islamic scholar was out of sight after the coronavirus outbreak. All the people were suspicious to know what are Zakir Naik’s thoughts and opinions about coronavirus. So recently Zakir Naik breaks his silence and told people about the reality of coronavirus. First of all he talked about what is lockdown?

Definition of lockdown:

Zakir Naik defined lockdown that a condition in which you are not allowed to enter or leave an area, city or country due to the emergency is called a lockdown. The emergency can be a bomb, war or a pandemic. More than 50% of the countries are under lockdown due to COVID -19 or Coronavirus disease 2019.

Reason of silence:

Zakir Naik explains the reason for his silence and said: Due to modern technology the world has become a global village and nowadays fake news is available on social media about COVID-19 which is causing more damage so I didn’t want to add to it. He also explain  his reason by giving an example that in January 2020 many video clips were uploaded on social media showing that Chinese who are infected are barking like dogs and being a doctor I know that COVID-19 does not affect your brain. Coronavirus affects your respiratory system.

Fake treatments:

People who do not have a specialty in this field are giving treatments and are explaining step by step how to keep and cut an onion and within 20 minutes you will be cure. I have seen videos in which a person is saying that UK prepared Dettol which kill coronavirus in 2019 and this is a conspiracy of United states.

Wrong Fatwas:

People are giving Islamic aspects about COVID-19 and giving fatwas which is not their field of speciality. As in Islam if you give the right fatwa you will be given double reward and if your fatwa is wrong then you will be given single reward. I didn’t want to give any fatwa because it’s not my job. Let foqaha and Mushtahid do it.

Limited knowledge:

As we know that COVID-19 is a new specie and research is going on and very few people know about COVID-19. Virologist, immunologist and those people which are qualified in pandemics have proper information about COVID-19 so we should not spread news without verifying it. In Surah Hujrat chapter 49 verse 6 Allah said,” Whenever you get information check it’s authenticity”.

Coronavirus and its species:

Those people who are saying that this pandemic is a conspiracy of United States actually do not have correct information. Coronavirus was discovered in 1930s and coronavirus have almost 20 species. Most of them cause no damage to humans while out of 20, 8 species infect and cause disease. Out of eight, five cause mild problems while the remaining three are detrimental. In 1930s coronavirus was first discovered in animals. Coronavirus was first found in chickens where it caused respiratory disease. In the 1940s it was discovered in mice. In humans, coronavirus was first discovered in the 1960s and was called human coronavirus while in the print media this word came forward in 1968.

Detrimental species of coronavirus:

Zakir Naik also mentioned some details about the detrimental coronavirus species which are as follows:

Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS):

SARS is one of the species of coronavirus which break out in 2002 in China and spread in 2003 and a pandemic was declared and after 2004 it disappeared. SARS infected 8098 people worldwide and 774 people died due to SARS with a death rate of 9.55%.

Middle East Respiratory Syndrome (MERS COV):

MERS started spreading in 2012 and infected about 2494 people worldwide and about 858 people died and spread in almost 24 countries. Until now a mortality rate of 34.4% have been reported.

Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19):

This specie of coronavirus was reported at the end of December 2019 and it started from China and now it is spread in about 184 countries and about 2.83 million people are infected by COVID-19 and about 197,245 people died due to this virus worldwide and have a mortality rate of 6.97%.

Hadith about the pandemic:

Dr Zakir Naik quoted from Sahih Al-Bukhari, Volume 7 hadith number 5728:

“When you hear news of the break of a plague in a land do not enter that land and if the place you are staying a plague breaks out do not leave that land.”

Hadith number 5729:

“When you hear about a break of a plague in the land do not enter the land and if the country abstain plague breaks out do not exit that country”.

Hadith number 5730:

“When you hear of news of a break of plague in a place do not enter that place and where you stay if a plague breaks out do not run away from that place.”

Hadith number 5707:

“Runaway from a leper as you run away from a lion*

Hadith number 5734:

Hazrat Ayesha (R.A) the beloved wife of Prophet (S.A.W) said, ” The Messenger (S.A.W) said that the plague was sent as a punishment by Allah to the people He wanted to send but for believers, it is a blessing and if a believer stays in the land which is infected by plague having faith in Allah and believe that nothing can fall him except Allah ordain then such people who die they will be given the status of a martyr”.

Conclusion:

So our Holy Prophet (S.A.W) mentioned all the instruction about fourteen years before which now the medical science is providing. From the above hadith, we get the information that we should not infect others by visiting other places and not get infected by visiting another place. Hope that after reading this article you must have gained a lot of knowledge regarding coronavirus and Islamic point of view about the pandemic.

Pakistan is rich in natural beauty with lots of travel worthy places and historical sites. The northern areas of Pakistan are particularly more famous among tourists and travelers coming from around the world to explore these heavenly places. With sky high mountains and lush green valleys, strikingly beautiful lakes and rich cultural heritage, Pakistan’s open hearted and hospitable people await their tourist guests for one of a kind experience in Pakistan’s northern region.

Why Is It Advisable To Hire A Tour Planner?

Every tourist spot has some unique features attached to it and if you are a new visitor without a proper tour guide, you will most probably miss seeing them. Also, chances are that you will need someone who knows your language and the local language to cater to the language barrier and to make a tour plan for you with all the transportation and hotel reservations in order to save you from the last moment hassles and inconveniences.

Trust me! The more carefree you are, the more you will enjoy your travelling experience. Tour guides and planners plan your tour in a way that you get to see and enjoy most of the places within a limited time and make sure that you don’t miss on anything special. Plus travelling with them is much safe than travelling on your own when you are not completely aware of the area.

Additionally, they are well aware of the local cost and expenses and make a proper package for the tourists covering all these expenses so you don’t have to pay separately at every stop and spot. This saves you a lot of money as a whole. All you have to do is, choose the right tour planner and the rest is their headache.
