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

Abstract

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