Pakistan, unfriendly? I wonder how they came to this conclusion. Our people are anything but unfriendly.

Rank is given according to score so it was pretty tight competition. This doesn't mean we are the unfriendliest, pretty stupid logic IMO. We got a score of 5.3 out of 7, placing us at the Bottom 10 position.

Seems fair enough in our case. Little was done to promote tourism in our country since 9/11. Failure on part of the govt. of course.

i personally we as a great Pakistani Nations are super friendly

but sadly our good traits have been diminished and ignored by western media

this is only due to our Corrupt Cheap Government Leaders
