Dear Sir,
With reference to the completion of batch-I on 30-03-2012 at Mingora, the BatchII was supposed to be organized at Kalam but due to heavy snow fall this year the snow is still on
the ground that is why the subject batch is proposed to be conducted at Miandam considering the
weather conditions.
2.
As such Miandam is a small summer resort ten kilometres (six miles) up a steep side
valley and 56 kilometers (35 mi) from Saidu Sharif, making it an hour's drive. The metaled road
passes small villages stacked up the hillside, the roofs of one row of houses forming the street for
the row of houses above. Tiny terraced fields march up the hillside right to the top. Miandam, is
a good place for walkers. Paths follow the stream, past houses with beehives set into the walls
and good-luck charms whitewashed around the doors. In the graveyards are carved wooden
grave posts with floral designs, like those used by Buddhists 1,000 years ago. Miandam is open
for tourists from March to October each year.
3.
Whereas Kalam is 2070m high and 100 km from Mingora, it was the centre of an
independent state in the 19th century. It was later taken by Chitral then given to Swat after
partition. Kalam is 29 kilometres (18 miles) from Bahrain and about 2,000 metres (6,800 feet)
above sea level, the valley opens out, providing rooms for a small but fertile plateau above the
river. In Kalam the Ushu and Utrot rivers join to form the Swat River. The weather conditions
are favorable from July to October each year for tourists.
4.
In lieu of the above it is proposed that Batch-II may kindly be conducted at
Miandam so that the passed out trainees may find jobs in the high peak tourist season this year
and ultimately take part in the development of tourism as a whole.

With reference to the meeting held in the office of the Secretary regarding duty
routine of PAIHTOM cooks, the Secretary has desired that the matter of daily wage employees
other than regular employees may be examined in consultation with the Focal Person for their
termination being extra staff as the Institute is not fully functional and Institute and Hotel
building training is presently under the occupation of Pakistan Army. The following facts are
laid below regarding daily wage employees of PAITHOM;
i.
The daily wages employees of PAITHOM can not be rightly termed as daily wager is
always appointed for less than 90 days and his appointment should have been
extended after every 89 days whereas in this case, these daily wages are working
regularly in PAITHOM for the last about 6 years to 10 years.

salary of Rs: 4,800/- per month against sanctioned posts of PAIHTOM from BPS 1 to

salaries and refused to sign contract papers. However neither their salaries were
enhanced nor were their services terminated.
iii. While according approval to regularization of 21 contract employees the Honorable
Federal Secretary has desired that a viable proposal may be prepared to regularize the
services of these daily wage employees because PAIHTOM as a society empowered

Pakistan Army after sacrifices of hundreds of innocent civil servants and public in general who
rightly deserve a due salute. No doubt, these martyrs sacrificed their lives for a great cause so
that the song of life never comes to an end with a broadband message that the secret of prosperity
lies in peace and tranquility.
War is the invention of all great art because war brings destruction and peace brings
construction. Swat and its dwellers are famous for their modernity and literacy since the times of
Wali-e-Swat. Even once, the British Queen has visited the city and recalled this city as the
Switzerland of Pakistan. Where the terrorism has damaged and deteriorated tourism
infrastructure and superstructure wherefrom thousands of families were used to get their bread
and butter but, thereon war on terror undoubtly brought rehabilitation and reconstruction by joint
efforts of Public and Private Sector.
The road to Kalam is open and reportedly it is even good for motor cars. Few patches are rough
but mostly smooth till Kalam right from Mingora. The security situation is normal and no fear
exists in local dwellers. The superstructure is closed due to non availability of tourists.
Now we are in a position to offer the residents of plain areas to enjoy their summer vacations and
holidays in cool and soothing natural environment at hill stations of upper swat without having
any fair. Before relaying this open offer we as a public sector may give incentive to private
sector in tourism and hospitality by taking a step towards their sustainability which has not been
possible in previous year by undertaking these steps;
Step I
To provide tourists a satisfactory holiday we may draw a policy by taking on board the private
sector which includes providers of transport, food and accommodation together with allied
facilities on terms of marketing their services to public at large through electronic and print
media, telemarketing and broachers and banners. By this we may able to provide on demand
comfortable and affordable transport, food & accommodation services to nature lovers of plain
areas by attracting them of the cool winds of upper swat from big cities. The providers of these
services ultimately shall get extra business than they have usual.
Step II
The hotel and restaurant business bore heavy damage and loss since mid 2007 to date as there are
no tourists. The private stake holder may be invited to the table and they may offered our
managed service agreement (wherein we may get their hotel on lease extendable on mutual
terms) so as to cater the needs of three types tourists i.e. elite class, white color class, aristocrats
and middle class people with special focus on students and families.
Step III
With the understanding of high level authorities of both the tourism department and Pakistan
Army to work for the same cause i.e promotion of tourism in swat by agreeing that transport
bringing tourists from big cities may be escorted by atleast one military personnel from departure
to arrival point so as to avoid frequent security checking after entering Malakand division. This
shall not only ensure a sense of travel safety in prospective tourists and they will not hesitate to
come with free mind to tourist attractive destinations.
Step IV
After taking assurance of coordination by above three steps we may offer value for money tour
packages for each class by working out actual expenditures in respect of full board plans
(accommodation with three meals) especially for students and families. Cottage and camping
lovers may also be offered viable packages. Group Youth packages, summer camps organizers
and Ramzan in Upper Swat may also be prepared. By motivating hotel owners to sell their
services using the TCKP platform. The hotel owners of upper Swat would love to accept this and
shall be even ready to go extra mile towards its achievement. Local people shall also be
contacted who usually rent out their purpose built house even in Ramzan along empty land for
camping with provision of local security on affordable terms so to revive tourism and to expect
revenue in ensuing seasons with greater flow of tourists.
Step V
To sell any product marketing is inevitable. As there is little time left in starting of high peak
tourist season it is necessary to initiate speedy marketing to attract targeted market which is only
possible through print media, telemarketing, sending these different packages through speedy
post to schools, colleges, universities, banks, pharmaceutical companies, textile and
manufacturing industries or identify local coordinators at big cities to relay the message.
Personal visits may also be arranged by deputing tourism experts to bring tourists in big cities.
The tourism promotional broachers and informative booklets may also be placed in shopping
malls, joy lands, hotels and restaurants and flippers may be placed in newspapers on holidays to
access the posh areas dwellers.
The FIRM USAID have also prepared a revised map of swat, telephone directory of Swat Hotel
Industry and Tour packages for this season at their own and got them printed too shall bring
them in coming STAG meeting. We may request them to assist us financially and ensure logistic
support to attract domestic tourist from big cities Punjab and Sindh as our cause to revive
tourism is common. Taking this step the financial implication on public sector shall also reduced
to minimum.
Step VI
A committee of experts shall be constituted on tourism experts to coordinate to achieve the
objectives of this marketing of tourism promotion in tourist attractive destinations of this region
consisting of Mr. Aftab Rana (USAID) who is also running Sustainable Tourism Foundation,
Mr. Zahoor Durani, who masters in arranging different age group of Youth Summer Camps, Mr.
Asif Javed, for being coordinator Hazara, Mr. Sajjad Hameed, Manager Admin & Properties, for
reporting progress to the competent authority and the undersigned. The main purpose of this
group should be to market tourism product ensuring harmony and peace with assured travel
safety to attract prospective tourists from plain areas.

authority please.

Dear Sir,
Kindly refer to the short training program for training of 15 trainees identified and
selected by SRSP for facilitation of tourists to provide better guest service and also to provide
them an opportunity to get self employment. The PAITHOM provided the institutional faculty
including trainee text books as per scheduled program started on 21st of April, 2012 in 4 days
training session of 24 hours followed by orientation visits.
2.
The shortcoming of the training was that no training aids (White Boards &
Marker, Flip Charts, Multimedia & Student Writing Pads etc.) have been provided by the SRSP
as intimated by Mr. Zahur Durani to the undersigned telephonically but practically nothing was
made available during the training.
3.
However, high caliber training was ensured to equip trainees to coop with the
competitors in the market working as drivers and other local transporters who are already
engaged in the same business. It is also requested that if next time any training is planned to be
organized in hospitality and tourism sector by SRSP of any other government or non government
organization the PAITHOM may be approached through Focal Person at Tourism Department to
ensure timely arrangement of training material and training aid.

Army for the reasons best known to them. Presently, the institute is executing short term skill
training of 280 youth in hospitality and tourism sector under Prime Ministers Hunarmand
Pakistan Programme sponsored by National Vocational Technical Training Commission
Regional Directorate Peshawar. The Job ratio of Ist batch conducted at Mingora is 45% which is
an evident proof of the high demand of skilled labor from this industry.
2.
The industry still needs still needs skilled and professionally trained managerial staff for
putting this industry in pace to cater the expectations of the tourist to their satisfaction. No, doubt
there has been a proliferation of institutes offering one or more diploma and degree courses in
business management and hundreds of students are enrolling them for one or more of these
courses but technically speaking hospitality and tourism is a diversified field of operations which
require ingenuity and trend setting in every new day of operations.
3.
The undersigned is of the view that the honorable Vice Chancellor of University of Swat
may consider the offer of PAITHOM to conduct Diploma & Degree course in Hospitality and
Tourism through the platform of University of Swat initially as Pilot phase.
4.
The PAITHOM extends its full coordination and cooperation so that the youth interested
in such courses may not travel far flung areas in pursuance of their career as well as to provide
regional industry with professionally trained managerial staff to address high demand in this
category.

Honorable Sir,
Hospitality and Tourism has become the biggest revenue generator as compare to other industries
of the world. Since industrial revolution it has been graded as the largest and one of the fastest growing
industry around the globe. There are some developing countries in South Asia whose economies depend
on this industry.
2.
Like-wise, Pakistan, no doubt, has great potential for the development of this industry but some
inevitable accidents deteriorated the infrastructure and superstructure of tourism destinations in
Himalayan and Karakoram Range resulting into thin tourist flow to these destinations in preceding years.
3.
This year there has been a proliferation of tourists thronging to Naran Valley via Murree for its
cool weather conditions and scenic picturesque of this panoramic valley. Unfortunately, we lack in proper
tourism administration structure for sustainability and preservation of such national asset.
4.
Having agreed on this threatening issue the Secretary Tourism has kindly taken an initiative and
is reluctant to take all stake holders engaged in tourism education to participate in this eco-tourism waste
cleaning activity to provide future leaders of this industry to learn multicultural team work environment,
surviving on high altitudes, camping techniques, hiking and trekking procedures and much more.
5.
TCKP & PAITHOM has joined hands together to host this tourist waste cleaning activity based
learning from re-known tourism experts with free camping accommodation (tents+ sleeping bags+
Mattress) as well as provision of sacks for waste dumping. We welcome students & their mentors to avail
this opportunity for helping preservation of eco-tourism of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa on first come first
served basis. The cost of transportation and meals is to be borne by the participating institutions/
organizations; however, we have made arrangements of 3-meal student food plan @500 daily. In addition
to this honorary certificates shall be awarded to students and participating institutions. For registration

Dear Sir,
Kindly refer to your letter No. dated on the subject cited above. The para-wise comments
in respect of application submitted by the Mr. Hassan Ex. Contract employee PAITHOM dated
27th July, 2012 as desired by your kind office please.
Para-wise comments
i).
The applicant was appointed on contract (renewable on mutual consent) basis for a period
of one year as F&B Manager in PAITHOM on 12th June, 2006 on a lump-sum salary of Rs:
15,000/- per month by the Ministry of Tourism, Islamabad. His contract was renewed with 15%
raise for another year till 11th June 2007. In the last quarter of 2007 the insurgents militant
activities started in Swat and the institute remained closed till April 2008. The institute started
again in April 2008 in presence of the security forces at PAITHOM. He submitted an application
for 3 weeks leave on 28th May, 2008 which was not allowed to him under contract service terms
and conditions by the then Incharge Mr. Liaqat Raza observing that his contract is going to
expire on 12th June, 2008. Mr. Hassan slipped away from the PAITHOM without intimating any
responsible person of the Institute in the early morning of 1st June 2012. The then Incharge
PAITHOM tried several times to contact him on his mobile number but he had switched off his
mobile. On his continuous absence from the show cause notices were sent on his home address
among which one of them was received by his wife. After having no response his contract
services stood terminated in accordance with the terms & condition of the contract appointment
that employer reserves the right to terminate contract service without assigning any reason from
the Institute. His claim that institute was not functional is not correct because institute along with
employees was temporarily shifted to PTDC Tourist Facilitation Center Abbottabad.
ii.
Secondly, his claim that PAITHOM employees were appointed on bogus degrees is not
correct as the Ministry has hired all the staff after giving advertisement in local and national
dailies however appointment on posts of class IV requires the ability to read & write but no
qualification. However, the credentials of existing employees are attached herewith for
verification from the quarter concerned please.
iii.
As he is not a bona-fide employee since 13th May, 2008 of the institute so his claim for
release of salaries is out of question.
iv.
The credentials of all PAITHOM existing employees are enclosed herewith for
verification.
v.
vi.
The applicant has submitted the same request once to Secretary Ministry of Tourism for
release of salaries, compensation, placement and if not issuance of an experience letter however
experience letter was issued to him wherefore the relevant record is presently held by the court of
law at Abotabbad in case PTDC Vs CBA. Thus his request for placement cannot be acceded to
because he is not employee of PAITHOM.
2.
The comments are submitted as desired please.

Sir,
I would like to draw your attention to the one of its kind purpose built building of
Pakistan Austrian Institute of Tourism and Hotel Management (PAITHOM) established in
March 2001 stretched over an area of 59 Canals & 10 marlas built at a cost of Rs140.50 million
including foreign economic assistance of Rs.64.262 Shillings as a joint venture of Austrian and
Pakistan Governments located at Gulibagh Swat.
2.
The state of the art institute having 8 classrooms, a computer lab, a library, an
information center, well equipped training kitchen with 8 work stations & 4 prestigious student
hostels fully furnished with lockers & cabinets. In addition a fully furnished common TV room
along with a hall for indoor games like table tennis and carom board.
3.
The purpose of attached 26 rooms training hotel was to provide students on job practical
exposure in various hotel departments where student were used to work as internees after having
their theoretical session. The hotel has 5 executive, 11 deluxe and 10 standard rooms with 2
restaurants, a lobby/lounge/cafeteria, and a conference hall.
4.
In November 2007 the armed forces took partial charge of the institute building due to
militancy while institute remained operational with strength of 44 boarding students 33
employees till November 2008. Then armed forces started operation cleanup in Swat thus asked

REINSTATEMENT IN SERVICE
Sir,
With reference to the subject noted above and to state that the undersigned took charge of
the institute in July 2008 when the applicant was not on institute strength so the details of service
tenure of Mr. Idrees (Ex-contract employee PAITHOM) are put by Mr. Liaqat Raza,
Management Secretary the then Incharge of the institute which are self explanatory and enclosed
herewith.
2.
In addition to the report submitted by Mr. Liaqat Raza Management Secretary, it also
pertinent to mention here that Front Office Supervisor post does not exists in 93 sanctioned posts
of PAITHOM approved by President of Pakistan in 2004 (copy of the order enclosed)
3.
As such, the whole record of the institute was burnt by Talibans when they took charge of
the building from Pakistan Army right after the peace pact made by provincial government with
Moulana Sofi Muhammad in January 2009 that is why show cause notices served to the
applicant by the then principal cannot be reproduced as evidence to this case.
4.
Reportedly, the applicant being a fixed period contract employee had left the institute on
his own consent without any prior information and chose to job elsewhere here in Pakistan and
abroad so his claim is not justified for reinstatement of his services from the date of termination
which also involves financial implication on part of the government.

Kindly refer to the subject to the noted above and to state that Institute has carried out
tracer studies regarding employability of PAITHOM-NAVTTC passed out trainees under Prime
Minister Hunarmand Pakistan Skill Up-Gradation Program in Hospitality sector completed in
four batches at Abbottabad, Skardu, Chitral, and Gilgit respectively. Under these training 340
trainees (Male & Female both) has been trained in different fields of Hospitality and Tourism
Industry in job oriented courses like Housekeeping, Front Office, Food & Beverages Service,
Food & Beverages Production, Tourist Guide and High Altitude Porter.
2.
Following are important points are submitted for your knowledge please;
I.
That in high altitude areas like Skardu, Gilgit, & Chitral employment is only
available in summer tourist season for 3 to 5 months and most of the students
work in local industry for their livelihood but female trainees did not join the
field due to certain sectarian ethnic issues.
II.
That, as a mater of fact the employability remains 30% to 45% in above
mentioned cities.
III.
However we are glad to inform you that Khurpa Association Skardu
associates NAVTTC trained 20 High Altitude Porters and 20 Tourist Guides
in each season and provide them employability.
IV.
Reportedly, some of our trainees approximately 2% have gone to Middle
East & Europe through their relatives for the relevant work they are trained
for.
V.
As such, the cell numbers of more than 30% are not functional at present that
is why they are inaccessible but other students have reported about them.
VI.
In fact, a case of PTDC TFC with CBA is in progress at Abbottabad High
Court Bench under which the whole record is withheld by the bailiff of court
and decision is still pending so resultantly certificates have not been issued to
students for which they are pressing hard. It is hope that next month the court
may announce its decision regarding the case.
3.
You kind office is also requested to consider the following suggestions of Institute for
executing future projects to improve training and employability of passed out trainees please;
i. The local industry existing staff may be given preference in each training
city to improve their skill and livelihood in the relevant field of experience.
ii. For female students who are studying home economics subject in local
colleges may be admitted through the principals so that they may be able to
get recommendations to access other private schools and vocational schools
for prospective instructional jobs in cooking and baking.
iii. Instead of stipend to the trainees a job uniform may also be provided to the
trainees to motivate professionalism and work ethics.
iv. The local industry be given incentive for provision of logistic support to
execute practical aspect of the courses and may be paid specified amount for
this purpose to avoid delay in practical training.
v. The institute resolves to request local industry to provide internships to
trainees in these departments with the ration of 1:4 so 20 hotel/restaurants
can accommodate 80 trainees easily.
4. The tourism industry has started reviving in Pakistan by this year and Hazara & Malakand
Division was visited by millions of tourists this year instead of Murree and Galiyat like
Nathia Gali and it is also to important to mention here that Swat valley is also seen by
domestic and international tourist this season which is a good sign. Tourism also attracts
tourists towards local handicrafts mostly made by women folk of these destinations. Thus in
next proposed project the PAIATHOM is eager to offer artisans courses in these cities to
promote handicraft industry and request that proposed training may kindly be got approved
considering the dire need of these unnoticed marginalized groups.

RECOMMENDATION ON FRAMING OF TOURISM POLICY
Dear Sir,
With reference to our two previous meetings on the subject cited above, it is stated that
following points are recommended to be considered while framing final draft of Khyber
Pakhtunkhwa Tourism Policy;
Recommendation On Tourism Policy For Khyber Pakhtunkhwa
Tourism Education, being competency based is not possible without different forms of
apprentice training in the relevant state of the art industry. Truly speaking, the human resource
source has always been through training raw handed uneducated labor by taking them on entrant
level jobs in the functional industry. That is why, having not been formally educated in respect of
job responsibilities, professional ethics, environmental mannerism this labor is less service
oriented in spite of their technical expertise. To coop these issues following incentive steps to
rationalize the service philosophy
1. The educators in tourism sector should be integrated with private industry to
provide education and technical training under one umbrella to achieve joint
objective of producing skilled workforce in the relevant industry starting from
entrant level to middle managerial levels.
2. Secondly, a unified curriculum may be developed on demand and need base
system to train workforce for each field of tourism and hospitality
occupational level employability.
3. Thirdly, tourism as a subject may be made compulsory and added in social
sciences or geography course of study from at least grade 3 to intermediate
level for equipping our emerging youth to understand tourism and adopt it as a
profession.
4. Cultural and heritage sites should be developed or refined to attract tourists to
the province.
5. Man made theme parks, recreational resorts, zoo, handicraft model village
investment opportunities on terms of public private partnerships may be
offered to the interested business man to create more employment and revenue
in the province resulting in development of these tourist attractive
destinations.
6. The recent travel facilities has made it possible for people to travel far flung
areas to cities offering better health curing facilities through a giant cluster of
hospitals clinics rehabilitation centers with modern equipments. The
accommodation & food for attendants of patients has also brings revenue for
below standard hotels near these health facilities which if not properly
maintained results in heap of garbage and filth on roads and service lanes
which ultimately a threat to the environment.
7. All the boarding and lodging establishments may be integrated within a
systemized network of check and balance to maintain and provide better
health and hygiene standards.
8. The boarding hostels and bed service establishment also made responsible for
attaining license from department of tourism with guide lines to retain clean
premises through proper dumping of waste and fumigation.
9. The environment and local government may affix penalties for not keeping
area clean and sanitized in order to avoid public nuisance.
10. The land of Province is full of adventurist sites for lovers of adventure tourism
from downtown land areas. The field of tourism still lacks appropriate
infrastructure to provide better facilities to such lovers not only to promote
tourism but also to create more opportunities for small investors to run
facilitative tourists shops.
11. Youth (Male & Female) from all sectors of society may be provided adventure
tourism activities as co-curriculum activities for secondary to post graduate
levels such as Hiking, Trekking, and camping on high lands.
12. An adventure club may be formed allied with TCKP & PAITHOM to look
over such opportunities as and when necessary.
13. Youth dormitories and hostels may be provided with hiking trekking
equipment facility on daily rental basis to educational institutions for sending
students on such expeditions.
14. The habitants of tourist attractive destinations may be rationalized with
preservation of cultural heritage and land atmosphere through social forums so
that domestic tourism may also be promoted.
15. The transporters may be requested to provide destination specific transport on
economical basis to domestic tourist during festive days.
16. The tourism department may train and hire seasonal tourist guards to maintain
and facilitate tourists from inland and abroad regarding travel advisories. They
may also supervise and educate tourists to keep surroundings clean in pleasant
ways or through public service message boards.
17. The re-cultivation of flora and fauna may be enhanced through incentives to
local farmers in way to make mountains beds full of colors in high peak
tourist season.
18. Ecology can be maintained by taking on board agriculture, wildlife,
environment, culture and local municipal departments to brainstorm together
to sort out a combine action plan for sustainability of eco tourism.
19. The most important of all these is development of tourism superstructure
(TICs, Hotels, Motels, Resorts, Theme Parks, Joy lands and Zoo etc) and
infrastructure (Roads, Bridges, Rail Roads, Air Passage, Chair lifts and
Safaris) of such tourist attractive destinations for provision of better and safe
access to tourists for enjoyment and recreation.
20. The most attracted tourists destinations like Galiyat, Kaghan , Kalam, and
Kelash Valleys shall be developed is such a way that tourist love to come here
in their holidays.
21. For implementation of better guest service structure the boarding and lodging

Dear Sir,
Hospitality and Tourism has become the biggest revenue generator as compare to other
industries of the world. Since industrial revolution it has been graded as the largest and one of
the fastest growing industry around the globe. There are some developing countries in South
Asia whose economies depend on this industry.
2.
Like-wise, Pakistan, no doubt, has great potential for the development of this industry but
some inevitable accidents deteriorated the infrastructure and superstructure of tourism
destinations in Himalayan and Karakoram Range resulting into thin tourist flow to these
destinations in preceding years.
3.
This year there has been a proliferation of tourists thronging to Naran Valley via Murree
for its cool weather conditions and scenic picturesque of this panoramic valley. Unfortunately,
we lack in proper tourism administration structure for sustainability and preservation of such
national asset.
4.
Having agreed on this threatening issue the Secretary Tourism has kindly taken an
initiative and is reluctant to take all stake holders engaged in tourism education to participate in
this eco-tourism waste cleaning activity to provide future leaders of this industry to learn
multicultural team work environment, surviving on high altitudes, camping techniques, hiking
and trekking procedures and much more.
5.
TCKP & PAITHOM has join hands together to host this activity based learning from reknown tourism experts with free camping accommodation as well as provision of sacks for waste
dumping. We welcome your students to avail this opportunity for helping preservation of ecotourism of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa on first come first served basis. The cost of transportation and
meals is to be borne by the participating organizations however you can also buy 3-meal food

The USAID is desirous of making amendments in regulatory laws of TSW and acts like
Hotel and Restaurant Act 1977 and Travel and Tours Act 1976 which may require lot of
discussions and vetting on the previous laws by tourism and legal experts to make it more users
friendly. On the other hand this may require a broad vision tourism development department for

The Pakistan Austrian Institute for Tourism and Hotel Management state-of-theart custom building located on 19km on Kalam Road at village Gulibagh which is one of its kind
tourism and hospitality training institute established as a joint venture of Ministry of Tourism
Pakistan and Austrian Development Agency, Austria at cost of Rs: 140 million in the year 2001.
This institute with a 26 room boutique hotel was developed to train youth in hospitality and
tourism sector to provide professionally trained man power in this progressing industry where
youth from all over Pakistan was always reluctant to apply on announcement of its admissions.
The training hotel income had proved this entity self-sustainable when fully operational in 2006
to mid 2007.
2.
The staff had performed duty along with 44 boarding students without any fear in
severe law and order situations during militancy in presence of the Security Forces when it was
used to fire all the night till 20th December, 2008.
3.
Reportedly, in the mid of 2009, the Home Department declared this building as
temporary detention cell and since then now it has been four years that it has not been vacated
rather almost all other buildings occupied by Army has been vacated and even some of them
have been paid rent by the Pak Army. Presently the detention cell is handed over to Jail
Department Khyber Pakhtunkhwa.
4.
Truly speaking, if this building would have been vacated in time we had trained at
least 200 students yearly and hotel income would also had been generated in millions. But it
closure has resulted in loss of public interest at large.
5.
In lieu of the facts elucidated above, it is beseeched that the Home Department may be
requested to de-notify its building as detention cell and shift it to somewhere else in Malakand

Development Cooperation (ADC) and Ministry of Tourism built at a cost of
Rs140.50 million including foreign economic assistance of 64 thousand
Shillings.

classrooms, a computer lab, a library, an information center, imported well
equipped training kitchen with 8 work stations with 3 store rooms & 4
prestigious hostels fully furnished with lockers & cabinets to cater 100
boarders. In addition a fully furnished common TV room along with a hall for
indoor games like table tennis and carom board. The purpose of 27 rooms
training hotel mandatory for students to get practical exposure in various
hotel departments after their theoretical session under supervision of
professional hotel staff. The hotel has 5 executive, 10 deluxe, 11 standard
rooms and one suit room. It has 2 restaurants, a lobby/lounge/cafeteria, a
conference hall and a gymnasium. It is also worth mentioning here that such
kind of hotel training educational facility is not available even in developed
markets.
4.
That building remained operational till November 2007 and produced
professionally trained human resource which has not gone unnoticed and its
students are working in national and international hotels and some of its staff
and students are heading tourism education departments at university level.
Thereafter due to increased militancy by religious miscreants the security
forces were allowed to encamp in the building by the management of the
institute to ensure security of 44 boarding students, non local staff who stayed
and confronted bravely cross fire situations at each night till December 2008.
5.
That building is one and only mega structure which sustained militancy
and provided shelter to our soldiers in hard times however when security forces
left it on 9th of January, 2009 under implementations of peace pact between
Government of KP and Maulana Sufi Muhammad but it did not sustain and as
a result of which PAITHOM was severely damaged and cruelly looted by

2.
Apparently it seems that the para-wise comments were not sent to the Honorable court in
time that is why the august court has given its verdict. Being a contract employee his contract
expired on 12th May 2008 which he never extended and left the institute without adopting legal
procedure reportedly along with all his bag and baggage. The then in-charge PAITHOM issued
him three mandatory notices to attend duty as he had the responsibility of teaching 44 students in
F&B trades but he neither responded in black and white nor attended his cell phone.
3.
Upon his request to Secretary MoT he was taken as Visiting Faculty F&B for National
Vocational & Technical Training Commission (NAVTTC) and was duly paid remuneration of
Rs:24000/- per month for conduction of three batches at Chitral Skardu and Gilgit for
consecutive 9-month as per ToRs of the PC-I and respective MoU of the project. Mr. Hassan has
brought a bad name to the institute as the amount of consumable training material after approval
of bills (correct in all respects) but he did not pay to the respective vendors.
4.
The facts elucidated above are correct to the best of knowledge of the undersigned as
head of institute since 10th July, 2008 and the applicant is not on the pay roll of PAITHOM since
13th May 2008 so his claim for salary is not justified and legitimate. Thus the Honorable court is

petitioner he may very kindly be issued a warning for future.

The PAITHOM affiliated your Institute with good intentions but the undersigned
is displeased to record that you might have been thinking that you will be provided each &

Dear Sir,
As you are well aware of the fact that Mr. Zia has proved his personal grudge
against the me by putting a blame of fake degree holder which is verified by the department from
the concerned university and also submitted to Human Rights Cell Supreme Court (Original
Jurisdiction) (copy attached). This is all because when your kind self deputed me in Swat after
establishment of peace and normalcy in Swat due to military operation clean up against Talibans
to call upon all employees on duty who became IDPs in militancy. All employees joined duty
except Mr. Zia which I reported to your kind office through email. He was working for an NGO
and refused to join duty but on knowing my true factual reporting he by using lame excuses of
illness and internal displacement went on leave with pay. Afterwards he did not attend his duties
even on several reminders so for this very reason his contract services were terminated in due
course of time.
2.
A few days before receiving suo-motto notice from HRC Supreme Court he came
to my place in very aggressive mood and gave threats to me and your kind self as well claiming
that he will do all to defame the institute on the reason that the legal advisor has not favored him
and that now there is nothing left on to his safe side. We explained that your own wrong
decisions put you in this situation but in response he said that now I will show the revenge.
3.
Sir, as he has left no stone unturned to damage my reputation and self ego within
the department and within my family and friends but Alhamdulillah all of his blames have now
proven false because my appointment was purely on merit after interview by Board members
PAITHOM in 2007 but my Uncle Dr. Gazi Gulab Jamal even being minister did not ask any high
ups in ministry of tourism to favor me as he already told me that if I will favor you it will be not
good for me and you as well in future so you tried hard to prove yourself best candidate for this
post. But alas! Mr. Zia did not even spare my Uncle who is a sitting MNA from FATA Orakzai
Agency and without even inquiry tried to defame his name as well which is not fare in any sense
and so cannot be spared.
4.
Therefore in light of the fact mentioned above I hereby request the Secretary
Tourism through your kind office to kindly provide me services of a legal advisor to initiate a
suit for damages so as to teach him a lesson which may also be a precedent for others like him so
that they may in future avoid to blame anyone without reason.

The PAITHOM Institute has a proven record of off-campus trainings with
seasonal employability of trained manpower in hospitality and tourism sector offering
occupation skill standard short and long term training programs in various hotel departments
alike, Front Desk, House Keeping, F&B Service, F&B Production, Tour Guiding, and Travel
Agency Operations in coordination with National Vocational & Technical Training Commission
(NAVTTC), USAID, Aga Khan Foundation Pakistan and other notable NGOs in selected
districts of Gilgit Baltistan and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa namely Skardu, Gilgit, Hunza, Chitral,
Swat (Mingora, Miandam & Kalam) and in Hazara Division at Abbottabad to marginalized both
male and female youth as this has not gone unnoticed as a many among them are employed and
progressing in this sector. (Details Attached)
2.
The services of Institute for these programs are marketed through meetings with
such Authorities and Non Government Organizations who in response thereto sponsor Institute
to execute training to marginalized youth. Institute has not offered very few courses for the most
wanted domestic tourist destinations of Galyat and Naran Kagan valley in the prevailing law and
order situation in the country which certainly requires attention. Skill refresher short courses to
existing hotel, restaurant and tourist services related staff of these destinations is badly needed.
Presently, the PAITHOM custom building is still in Pak Army occupation, so much so,
NAVTTC 3rd Batch at Kalam is completed recently and certificate distribution shall be held be
shortly in Mingora, Swat.
3.
It is therefore proposed that we may either carry out a feasibility study for
implementing such program or we may hire a bungalow in Swat or else where it run it as a guest
house wherein all hotel staff may perform duties within the budgetary provisions. To these
options advice is sought from the department for further necessary action please.

record in respect of its execution was kept in this office which includes original certificates and
official record etc.
2.
On expiry of lease agreement between Cantonment Board Abbottabad and PTDC,
the CBA with the help of the court bailiff on official holiday brook into the building and took
over the possession of office sealed the building. The PTDC management appealed thereon in
the August Court of Session Judge which is still decision pending in the High Court Bench
Abbottabad. The details of the case which is self explanatory are attached herewith for your
reference please.
3.
The NAVTTC Head Quarter Prime Minister Secretariat (Public) through their
Regional Office Peshawar is pressing hard for the audit of the project as well as pass out students
are also curious about getting their original certificates.
4.
In order to resolve the issue we may hire a legal advisor to pursue the case
showing PAITHOM a neutral party and to request the August Court to release our record and
office accessories at the earliest. The undersigned is required to proceed to Abbottabad to hire a
lawyer and to report the latest progress in this regard to the quarters concerned.

Dear Sir,
The PAITHOM Institute has a proven record of off-campus trainings with
seasonal employability of trained manpower in hospitality and tourism sector offering
occupation skill standard short and long term training programs in various hotel departments
alike, Front Desk, House Keeping, F&B Service, F&B Production, Tour Guiding, and Travel
Agency Operations in coordination with National Vocational & Technical Training Commission
(NAVTTC), USAID, Aga Khan Foundation Pakistan and other notable NGOs in selected
districts of Gilgit Baltistan and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa namely Skardu, Gilgit, Hunza, Chitral,
Swat (Mingora, Miandam & Kalam) and in Hazara Division at Abbottabad to marginalized both
male and female youth as this has not gone unnoticed as a many among them are employed and
progressing in this sector. (Details Attached)
2.
The services of Institute for these programs are marketed through meetings with
such Authorities and Non Government Organizations who in response thereto sponsor Institute
to execute training to marginalized youth. Institute has not offered very few courses for the most
wanted domestic tourist destinations of Galyat and Naran Kagan valley in the prevailing law and
order situation in the country which certainly requires attention. Skill refresher short courses to
existing hotel, restaurant and tourist services related staff of these destinations is badly needed.
Presently, the PAITHOM custom building is still in Pak Army occupation, so much so,
NAVTTC 3rd Batch at Kalam is completed recently and certificate distribution shall be held be
shortly in Mingora, Swat.
3.
It is therefore proposed that we may either carry out a feasibility study for
implementing such program or we may hire a bungalow in Swat or else where it run it as a guest
house wherein all hotel staff may perform duties within the budgetary provisions. To these
options advice is sought from the department for further necessary action please.

Dear Sir,
Kindly refer to our meetings regarding several issues of PAITHOM wherein
subject noted above is one among them. PAITHOM is a semi autonomous body run by a non
development grant. It also generates income when operational by selling hotel facilities to the
public at large. The hotel income for approximately one single year operation was Rs: 8.9
million but unfortunately the training hotel and institute due to army occupation remained unable
to earn any income since July, 2008.
2.
In addition to this government also supports institute through a non-developmentgrant in respect of staff salaries and operational cost. If income and funds are kept in a saving or
fixed account it can possibly generate income offered by different scheduled banks and other
such like institutions.

The approval of the department is sought with request to kindly get concurrence

Dear Sir,
There is proliferation of educational establishments in Swat and hundreds of
students are enrolling themselves in one of these study programs. Most of these students belong
to far flung areas and most originate from marginalized and under privileged areas. Although
very few institutes or colleges provide hostel facility but none the less a big lot still seek cheaper
and fair hostel accommodation where they can manage within their budget.
2.
In is also pertinent to mention here that PAITHOM has sufficient experience in
managing hostel and hotel. Presently there is no such quality oriented hostel facility is available
for such students where they can stay and get an opportunity to learn other short term vocational
skill course so as to get part time jobs in the evening.
3.
The budget permits an allocation of Rs: 50000/- in respect of building rent
whereby a suitable building for hostel may be hired preferably in Mingora or in Raheemabad.
The inmates of this hostel shall also offer short term skill training courses in the evening and in
addition, this facility may used as budgetary guest house during vacations. Hopefully, it can also
earn reasonable profit on monthly basis excluding operational cost.
4.
The approval is solicited in respect of proposal referred above for maximum utilization of
professional team which is presently sitting idle due to occupation of PAITHOM building by
hiring a building through local property dealers or by advertisement in local print media

Subject:
Sir,
I would like to draw your attention to the one of its kind purpose built building of
Pakistan Austrian Institute of Tourism and Hotel Management (PAITHOM) established in
March 2001 stretched over an area of 59 Canals & 10 marlas built at a cost of Rs140.50 million
including foreign economic assistance of Rs.64.262 Shillings as a joint venture of Austrian and
Pakistan Governments located at Gulibagh Swat. It is a semi autonomous body registered under
Society Registration Act of 1860 run by a non-development government grant and transferred to
Tourism Department, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa under 18th Constitutional Amendment deliberations.
2.
The state of the art institute having 8 classrooms, a computer lab, a library, an
information center, well equipped training kitchen with 8 work stations & 4 prestigious student
hostels fully furnished with lockers & cabinets for boarders. In addition a fully furnished
common TV room along with a hall for indoor games like table tennis and carom board.
3.
The purpose of attached 26 rooms training hotel having 5 executive, 11 deluxe and 10
standard rooms, 2 restaurants, a lobby,/lounge/cafeteria, conference hall and garden lawn
presenting panoramic view of river Swat to provide students on job practical exposure in various
hotel departments where student were used to work as internees after theoretical sessions.
4.
In fact, this sustainable entity earned an income of approximately 6 million per fiscal year
but its occupation left institute in lurch and an estimated loss of 6 million income per year since
2007. The employees performed duty in worse situations having no proper set up which
ultimately resulted in loss of human resource development, expansion of touristic activities and
promotion of tourism in the region.
5.
In November 2007 the armed forces took partial charge of the institute building due to
militancy while institute remained operational with strength of 44 boarding students and 33
employees till November 2008. Then armed forces started operation cleanup in Swat and
employees left the building on forces direction for safety in December 2008.
6.
Thereafter, the PAITHOM shared government mission to alleviate poverty and
unemployment in select districts of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and Gilgit Baltistan through executing
skill up-gradation training courses sponsored by governmental and non-governmental
organizations for livelihood of 1673 both male/female youth and professionals in hospitality and
tourism industry.
7.
Noticeably PAITHOM like facility is not even available in developed global markets of
South Asia for hospitality and tourism sector human resource development. No doubt, it surely is
a national asset which needs revival and restoration for cause of education & training for a better
and prosperous Pakistan. Reportedly, staff living in surrounding residential area of Gulibagh
reporting that army is taking its logistics to some other place.
8.
In lieu of presented facts referred above the undersigned beseech your good office to take
up vacation of this state of the art building as early as possible for sustainable socio-economic
tourism and hospitality development in this dynamic and ever changing revenue generating
industry.

Subject:
Respected Sir,
The undersigned is totally aware of your busy schedule but on contrary also
genuinely compelled once again to beg, entreat, implore and supplicate your kind attention on
the subject cited above which still is decision pending instead of available sanctioned grant.
Undoubtedly, delay in release of salaries since two months has resulted into a difficult, arduous,
intricate and perplexing situation especially for support staff.
2.
Regardless of officers, the lower cadre staff, almost originating from poor class is
much more dissatisfied and mentally unsettled bearing an unavoidable anxiety on this
exceptional delay. Consequently and eventually, they feel justified in claiming payment of
salaries in time on the reason being that their bread and butter entirely depend on salaries.
3.
To address this mismanagement, indecision, obstinacy and hardihood and in order
to avoid such future lapses, makeshifts, delays and irregularities in payment of salaries the
undersigned requests your kind self to set up a lawful, legitimate allowable and just policy by
proposing Finance Department to release PAITHOM funds directly to AGPR requesting them to
maintain a separate pay roll for PAITHOM employees. On the other hand, if earlier is not
possible, we may call upon an urgent Board of Governors meeting to discuss and decide the long
standing challenges and constraints confronted by the institute.
4.
As this matter is of exigency and urgent nature, the undersigned sincerely hope and
believe that you kind self will readily understand staff position without salaries and operational
cost, which is undoubtedly, a necessary element for attaining satisfactory performance and
execution of traditional human resource development activities of the institute. This arrangement
will help us over the present difficulty and also appease the grievances of distressed employees.

approvals thereof which requires clarification of financial and administrative power vested in
head of the institute of a semi-autonomous body as per previous analogy and therefore
deliberated as under to avoid this misunderstanding once and for all;

The details of training courses implemented, executed, conducted and completed

campus courses with duration, no of students, pass outs and outcome employability along with
media releases are attached as annexure-I.

The undersigned, being head of the institute, is designated by the Chairman, BoG
of previous board to look after the affairs of the institute by exercising general, financial, and
administrative etc powers under rule XI sub-rule 1 to 14 for smooth functioning of business of
the institute. (Rules attached as annexure II)
4.
In fact and in spite of all challenges and constraints confronted so far by the
institute, but in contrary to this it has proved its competency and excellence in human resource
development in hospitality and tourism sector as a result of continuous efforts by getting
sponsorships from other governmental and non-governmental organizations like NAVTTC,
AKFP and USAID etc. In comparison to on-campus the trained output in off-campus course is
remarkably higher.
5.
It is therefore once again requested that only salary approval for three months does
not serve the purpose for financial crises of the institute. In order to resolve this matter of

It is an obviously understandable fact that without having any financial back up to
invest to implement its business no organization can produce performance or orientate results.
The same is the case with us. However, instead of incessant requests for placement and
utilization this professional hotel team neither the PAITHOM building is got vacated so far nor
another hotel building is hired as well.
6.
It is a constant source of surprise and astonishment that why PAITHOM is not
equally treated helping it sustain and progress by a proven record of bringing good name for
tourism department in scarce and limited resources with remarkable human resource productivity
and appeasing the graph of unemployment and poverty. Sooner or later its building shall be
vacated by the armed forces once the issue of terrorism is settled and once again it will turn into
a one of its own kind self sustainable and strengthened public sector tourism entity.

Kindly refer to your letter No. SO(Tourism)5-48/2007/2448 dated 9th April, 2014

2.
In the subject concerned, first of all, it is clarified that PAITHOM started in 2006
and its management was not involved in its construction and or receiving or surrender of funds
allocated for the purpose. A steering committee at Ministry of Tourism (Defunct) was looking
over such matters as per information of the undersigned. Therefore it is better that requisite
information may be communicated to Ministry of Inter Provincial Coordination for required
information as to why such fund had been surrendered.
3.
Secondly, even after devolution in April, 2010, the PAITHOM building since
2009 is still under army possession and no such solid efforts have been made for its vacation.
However, during this while, the PAITHOM has been busy in executing off-site skill trainings in
coordination with National Vocational and Technical Training Commission (NAVTTC) under
Prime Minister Hunarmand Pakistan Program since 2011 to 2013.

Dear Sir,
Kindly refer to the subject to the noted above and to state that Institute has carried out
tracer studies regarding employability of PAITHOM-NAVTTC passed out trainees under Prime
Minister Hunarmand Pakistan Skill Up-Gradation Program in Hospitality & Tourism Sector
completed in four batches at three locations in District Swat at Mingora, Miandam & Kalam
Valley respectively. The first two batches of 5 trades i.e Housekeeping, Front Office, Food &
Beverage Service, Food & Beverages Production, Tourist Guide comprising on 200 trainees of
3-month duration and last batch of 6-month duration having 78 trainees in 5 trades like like
Front Desk Management, Room Management, Restaurant Operation, Food & Bakery Production,
and Travel Operation at Kalam followed by 2 month internship. Under these training a total 278
trainees has been trained in different fields of Hospitality and Tourism Industry for enabling
them to get jobs and self employability for better living.
2.
3.
We are displeased that even after getting above mentioned achievements for sustaining
flagship of NAVTTC, the PAITHOM is neglected in presently launched project stream which is
in no way fair justice with the institute.
4.
Any how, we recommend your visionary leadership to consider the following
suggestions for executing future vocational training projects in Tourism & Hospitality Sector to
improve training and employability of passed out trainees to get better results;
The local industry existing staff may be given preference in each training city to improve
their skill and livelihood in the relevant field of experience.
For female students who are studying home economics subject in local colleges may be
admitted through nominations of respective principals so that after training they may
access other vocational institutions for prospective instructional jobs in cooking and
baking.
In addition to stipend to the trainees an allowance for uniform may also be provided to
the trainees to motivate professionalism and work ethics in them.
The local industry may also be invited for provision of logistic support to execute
practical aspects of the course and may accommodate these trained in form of intern or
jobs.
5.
The undersigned firmly believes that your visionary leadership would definitely give due
importance to the services of PAITHOM rendered for NAVTTC by including institute once
again be in future vocational stream projects.

On telephone Mr. Hurmat Yab Khan explained that after
building occupation by armed forces PAITHOM was temporarily
shifted to Abbottabad on Prime Ministers advice in PTDC facility,
however, due to expiry of lease this facility was sealed and locked
by Cantonment Board Abbottabad in November, 2011 thereafter
the Tourism Department shifted it to Swat for execution of Prime
Minister Hunarmand Pakistan Program which has ended in
December, 2013 in which 278 youth has been trained. (Draft PC-I
attached as original is withheld by Court at Abbottabad)
Thereafter his proposal for hiring of a hostel building in
Swat was also regretted by this department due to security
constraints. In response thereto Incharge PAITHOM submitted this
proposal for hiring a hotel building on rent in Galiyat to serve both
as youth tourism education activity hub as well as a commercial
hotel for generating income by utilization of hotel staff who still
sitting vacant due to unavailability of workplace.
It is further added that ample trainings have been offered in Swat
by PAITHOM in coordination with NAVTTC & USAID so it may
be relocated in Hazara where the tourist potential exists and is in
dire need of trainings.

Dear Sir,
The PAITHOM Swat has been engaged in implementation of NAVTEC sponsors
project for livelihood and skill up gradation vocational training and technical education in the
field of hospitality and tourism to help sustain skilled labor especially for IDPs of Swat. The
project accounts are now closed therefore long standing PC-IV and PC-V are enclosed with
following suggestions for consideration of concerned quarters.
The PAITHOM is one & only institute that established off-site campuses for
executing NAVTTC training in areas of GB and KP where no other hospitality
institution can provide logistic for training so this institute may be included in all
future stream trainings planned and funded by NAVTTC.
In future PAITHOM may also be strengthened financially to introduce a mobile
training hotel as a new initiative for both Public /Private Sector organizations with
the support of Government.
A compatible mechanism is required for providing jobs to trainees in 3 to five star
hotel as well as in reputable travel agencies.
To adopt more effective policy for tracer study.
Stipends may enhance for marginalized groups to bear their actual costs of living
and transportation attending such vocational trainings.
The instructional and non instructional remunerations may be increased so to hire
professional instructors.
NAVTTC may introduce Micro Financing Scheme for trainees who wish to start
their self employment and may also make a system for refund of such micro loans
in easy monthly or quarterly installment for bringing social and economic
sustainability through these trainings.

FORTNIGHTLY REPORT OF PTDC MOTELS IN SWAT DISTRICT
Dear Sir,
A fortnightly report is being sent to you for evaluations of potential of motels and their
present administrative approach by the management which is given in tags below;
1) The motel located in Saidu Sharif is second option to Swat Serena for
trade and commercial business travelers, official and other VFR, and
first option for frequent travelers coming to Swat for social service
projects or for visiting eco-tourism because other hotels are not
spacious, not easily accessible or have limited facilities.
2) There is no effective marketing strategy ever in practice so income is
limited to walk in customers or depends on repeated guests from trade
and business community.
3) The rooms linen, furniture has seen no change since last 10 years and
does not match to value for money charged. The heating and cooling
equipments are out dated and do not work as per guest requirements.
Other amenities are also not up to the mark or even standardized.
Rooms have no category as standard deluxe or queen or master bed
rooms for diversified customer.
4) The wedding and conference also bring revenue but expenditure on their
organization seems to quite high rather than profitable.
5) The motel is open throughout the year and does business on a 50%
room and restaurant occupancy per month on average.
6) The room occupancy of motels of Miandam and Kalam wholly solely
depends upon Tourist Information Centers of PTDC but in this era of
digital info technology globally no eye catcher packages or fun and
activity based tours are being offered to generate maximum revenue out
of these facilities. Target markets for business are not contacted or
covered even.
7) Apparently no coordination seems to exist among TIC & private sector
travel and tour operating agencies or Motels and other private sector
accommodation sector.
2.
The report is based on observations of the undersigned since deputation w.e.f 2nd
September, 2014 to date and therefore submitted to your kind office for taking better steps to
operate these golden egg laying hens in the province.

Dear Sir,
As you know that institute has been executing mobile training courses in tourism
and hospitality trades with an output of 2217 skilled youth at different tourist potential areas in
the province. Among many from this trained lot have found jobs and few have gone to middle
east, Malaysia and even Europe through their own sources and working in the same field.
2.
At present we propose that to spread awareness of tourism and hospitality as a
career oriented and dynamic field, the youth in schools, colleges and universities may be
informed through organization of informative seminar and workshops to get themselves
acquainted with the field and work as volunteers to keep this province tourism friendly.
3.
Self employability oriented professional training programs along with small loans
facility ranging from 1-2 lakh for marginalized youth to start their part time business in these
areas to earn their livelihood and also carry on their formal education which they have to leave
for earning their family bread and butter.
4.
We may also promote handicraft, cooking, and fabric & glass mosaic courses at
school, college and particularly at village/community level by attracting and engaging
handicrafts businessman to purchase these items as per their demand to alleviate poverty and
strengthen marginalized women lot that presently did not get their due labor. We may also
provide loans to them to prepare their products and sale them in display wooden huts.
5.
The plan of execution can be chalked out accordingly taking contributors and
concerned authorities on board and presented to the competent authority for final proposal.

JOINT VENTURE FOR CONSIDERATION
Dear Sir,
I would like to invite your attention towards a prevalent practice by many hotels in
Middle East that hire staff from south Asian countries like Pakistan. They also advertise such
jobs on their websites and through various recruiting agents. It has also been observed that agents
or recruiters, sometimes, on urgent need hire of hotel staff that does not even possess required
occupational qualifications. Consequently they fail in performing jobs and thwarted back to their
home countries. This in turn results into a bad image of the native country and other skilled
workforce of this industry.
This is all because no proper procedure has ever been adopted for such skill exchanges of
labor. Tourism is no doubt is a labor intensive industry that not only strengthens economy of the
recipient country but also develops community of that particular area. So much so, if study and
observe further that what this tourism phenomena can do about community development we may
confront with many examples of community developments in the world. A barren land turned
into a natural heritage site, a mountain area become tourist attractive with the help of indigenous
community who turned their houses as guest rooms for visitors of the area which ultimately
become a source of cultural diversity and so on the song of tourism never comes to an end.
Many of us know that this opinion has now become an established catholicity that hotel
training is always through an apprenticeship form of training. Globally, young men and women,
who seek careers in hospitality and tourism, must get hands on job experiences in a professional
and standard working environment to succeed in career persuasions. All over the world same
practice seems to be prevalent. Following the same line educators in tourism has now realized
that their students cannot be job oriented if they do not go through the principle of learning by
doing pedagogical methodology. On the other hand, there has been a proliferation of big hotels
whether large or small who intake raw handed people, train them and give them a line of action
to pursue their wishes.
Above all these facts, there is always a job available in this dynamic field. In Europe, a
large number of young boys and girls do part time jobs in guest service industry. There is never a
no to a new comer. Let us take it in another way by accepting that most of the big hotel chains in
middle east employee low wage labor from poor countries of South Asia.
Off and on we see advertisement by recruiting agents offering jobs to skilled people on
lucrative salaries and other fringe benefits through electronic and print media and hundreds apply
to get a chance to get those jobs by hook or by crook. But unfortunately and consequently they
do not prolong it even if they have got certificates of tourism educator because they do not have
hands on knowledge. Even in developed countries there are very few institutes that have their
own boutique hotels for providing hands on practical knowledge of the theory they taught in
years.
In contrary to this, there are a few educators who offer a complete and accurate pack of training.
Their developed human resource is adorable to industry at national and even international levels.
Having equipped with practical skills they are ready to take responsibilities efficiently, devotedly
and honestly. In fact, we feel elated and proud in saying that our students have proved their
worth in the industry and as well as in academia. We are still looking new horizons to explore
and appreciating, coordinating and moving forward new suggestions and ideas for providing our
students international job oriented apprenticeships. And we do believe that in turn we are
providing free labor to such hotels for more than six months with an only condition that they
may get food & lodging as reward of their free labor by the recipient hotel and shall also
consider our students for jobs on their excellent and up to mark performance.
This all process is made very easy and transparent through live testing of entry level skills in
various hotel departments by the hoteliers. If arrival is not possible here this can also be done on
live video transmission on net. Undoubtedly, hats off to InfoTech global services that made it
convenient. Our lot is ready to be absorbed that is why we are requesting your esteemed hotel to
help us give them a chance to pursue their careers and bring moments of happiness to guests.
We fervently hope that you will definitely would like to avail this free labor accordingly on
demand thrive at your end.
Looking forward to hearing from you soon.

Dear Sir,
PAITHOM is fervent to coordinate and join hands with industries that employ people in
jobs and offer lifetime career opportunities. By providing career ladders and increasing the
opportunities for personal development for each employee, tourism industry will be able to
overcome the stigma that is often attached to this industry, namely low paying jobs, poor
working conditions and high turnover rates. For tying every job in the organization to every other
job, providing the necessary training along the career ladder will not only improve the
motivation and satisfaction of the employees but also reduce labor-turnover which in turn shall
also attract more talented and educated individuals and thus totally change the industry's image.
2.
The hospitality and tourism industry in cooperation with educational institutions can
endeavor to create more realistic expectations than students have about the industry and its
occupations. When a new employee joins work with glamorous expectations of fun, plenty of
travel, excellent pay, and luxurious managerial jobs are confronted with reality they are severely
disappointed, and often quit when a better job becomes available. To prevent this
disappointment, educational institutions with industry should give them more realistic and less
"rosy" picture of the industry and thus prepare them for "real life."
3.
The industry could provide its tourism training educational institutions with more
opportunities for internships and practical training. A large proportion of the employers
commonly admit that the industry was not providing the educational sector with sufficient
opportunities for student internships and practical training. If students are to be trained in
subjects that are relevant to the workplace, they have to be given with opportunity to observe and
learn how the theoretical material that is presented in class is manifested at work. To accomplish
that, all industry sectors should provide internship opportunities, which often result in job offers
for high performers upon completion.
4.
For this purpose kindly find attach curricula of different programs for peer review
requesting organizational leadership for consideration and needful cooperation for adding value
and to make it in accordance with the industrial standards.

decision pending. However his would be stopped at completion of his 60 years age.
As such, all the employees except those who have got promotion are fall in the category for promotion
but as the custom building of institute is with the security forces there is no platform available that is
why no priority is given to this institute and staff related issues are also stopped.
