Tania Qureshi (Deputy Director Media & Marketing WCLA):

We will be taking the tourists to the places where they can buy wedding dresses, party wear and casual unstitched suits, jewelry, shawls, shoes, home décor accessories, crockery, cutlery, spices, dry fruits and much more at cheap rates. Actually the Walled City Lahore is the hub of wholesale markets and the shopping lovers must visit it in this winter and wedding season. This tour is economical on everyone’s pocket. In this weekly tour we will be taking the tourists to different bazaars every time. Most of these markets are Asia’s biggest wholesale markets and we aim to promote these hundreds of years old markets through a guided tour. Our tourist guides will also brief the tourists about the history of the markets.

Kamran Lashari (Director General WCLA): f

For the first time in Pakistan we are starting with this unique tourism where the tourists especially the shopping lovers have been gathered. The markets of walled city Lahore are heritage markets and I think the people should know about these as well. This is a new trend of tourism and I hope we encourage the shopping lovers to come to the walled city Lahore.
