SOUTH ASIAN RAIL


Bikash Choudhury







SAARC must explore huge tourism potential in South Asian region. Currently, Europe dominates in attracting foreign tourist globally. Euro Rail has helped a great deal in connecting all places of tourist interest in all sister countries of Europe. Can we concieve a "South Asian Rail" connecting all the important tourist destinations in SAARC countries. I am sure, this will help attract foreign tourist as well as domestic tourist of the region. Apart from creating substantial Economic opportunity for people at the bottom of pyramid in the region;'South Asian Rail' if unvailed would go long way in integrating the people & diverse cultures of the region. Hope, the issue may be taken up in the next round of foreign secretary level talks between India & Pakistan at Islambad and subsequently at SAARC summit meeting.
