He emphasized that the ownership of all guest houses will remain with the Gilgit-Baltistan government.Additionally, it was noted that the KPK caretaker government had previously approved the lease of 17 motels from the Pakistan Tourism Development Corporation to Green Tourism for 30 years, also under the SIFC's guidance.
