“…Ali, Haider, Ali, Ali, & Ming, 2017). The investment opportunities will boost tourism infrastructure, products, services quality and with positive publicity, the places where people will want to visit (Hameed, Ali, & Khan, 2020). Pak-China tourism is seeing significant growth due to effective visa policies, robust vacation travel, and the activity of more foreign tourism, and more foreign flights (S. A.…”

“…Cooper (2000) identified that a tourist destination consists of various elements identified as 4 As, Attraction, Access, Amenity and ancillary services (UK essays, 2018). Hameed et al (2020) suggest that Scenic beauty, accessibility, weather and security are the main influential factors of visitors preference. The routes under CPEC will increase comfort, reduce the time between the destinations.…”

Tourism development and flow are directly influenced by the travel and transportation linkages. Transit routes are a vivacious segment of the world trade, places connectivity, tourism, and travellers comfortability, reducing price and time between destinations. The 1,878-kilometer route from Khunjrab Pass will connect the Brahma Bahtar Interchange on the M1 Motorway with the city of Gwadar on the Western Alignment. The new trade and business dimensions are arising from the CPEC transit route between Pakistan and China. Gwadar Port has the potential to undertake a critical position in Pakistan’s economic resurgence. This study is established on the qualitative method based on the case studies technique as secondary data analysis. CPEC would offer several direct and indirect benefits to the country, people and especially the local community by securing employment, growing wages, and establishing SMTEs. The CPEC’s economic growth and incentives will enable the provinces into the process of national change. Tourism increases awareness, understanding, poverty reduction, promote development, increase jobs, peace. Keywords: CPEC, Pakistan, China, Tourism, Gawadar, Connectivity, Transit route

“…Inhabitants (or residents) of GB participated in the survey that was used to gather the data using quantitative research technique. Quantitative research takes a logical approach that prioritizes data collection using standardized surveys [20,[92][93][94][95][96][97][98]. With the help of a reputable panel company (businesses that pair online survey takers with the survey's intended audience for a charge per full answer) based in Islamabad (i.e., the capital of Pakistan), we were able to gather data from the broad Gilgit Baltistan population using Google forms and paper surveys.…”

“…As a result, improving roads and transportation is recommended as a required prediction for tourist operations [10,15]. Thus, keeping in view the relationship between infrastructure and regenerative tourism development, this study examines the impact of CPEC infrastructural development and its impact on the tourism industry in Pakistan [15,19,20].…”

The Mediating Roles of Economic, Socio-Cultural, and Environmental Factors to Predict Tourism Market Development by Means of Regenerative Travel: An Infrastructural Perspective of China–Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC)

Even though the significance of the China–Pakistan economic corridor (CPEC) is frequently discussed on various international forums, its economic, socio-cultural, and environmental impacts in a geographically constrained area have not yet been studied precisely. Consequently, the goal of this study is to look into how CPEC Infrastructural Development (CPECID) would regenerate the tourism market in Gilgit Baltistan (GB), a Pakistani administrative territory. The basic data gathered via a convenience sample strategy is subjected to a quantitative analysis approach. In total, 336 inhabitants of GB participated in a closed-ended online survey that was used to gather data. The results showed that CPECID has a favorable influence on regenerative tourist growth and development in the area and that this link is partially mediated by economic, socio-cultural, and environmental impacts. The study’s conclusions have important implications for authorities creating regenerative tourist promotion plans, in addition to adding to the body of knowledge on tourism.

“…1 Tung (2000) modified linguistic scales for weight by using fuzzy triangular values, i.e., a fuzzy version of the TOPSIS environment. Fuzzy TOPSIS is also in use in scholarly literature in many applications, for instance, decision making (Khan, et al, 2020), economic development (Bin Hameed, et al, 2020), and supply chain (Ertuğrul & Karakaşoğlu, 2008). Figure 2 shows the typical steps involved for the TOPSIS approach (Minatour, et al, 2015) that are adopted in this study.…”

Pakistan is working on two pipeline projects, namely, Iran-Pakistan-India (IPI) and Turkmenistan-Afghanistan-Pakistan-India (TAPI) gas pipelines, to meet its energy supply-demand gap. This study's aims to compare these two projects and identify the most suitable option for Pakistan. Furthermore, as the TAPI project is progressing faster than the IPI project, this study also aims to identify the critical activities associated with TAPI projects. Finally, a model is proposed to optimize the material and transportation costs related to the TAPI project. The study's contribution by using fuzzy set theory-based multi-criteria decision-making (Fuzzy MCDM) to compare two projects along with usage of the Fuzzy Critical Path Method (FCPM) for the identification of critical activities associated with the TAPI project. Finally, the Genetic Algorithm is applied to optimize the material and transportation costs of the TAPI project. The results show that IPI has advantages over TAPI in terms of power generation, transportation cost, transits fee, and gas prices. The critical path analysis of the TAPI gas pipeline shows that it will take approximately 75 to 330.5 weeks to complete. The study is useful for the managers who have to work in these projects, the policymakers considering these projects at various levels, and the researcher having an interest in applying Fuzzy set theory with MCDM, CPM, and in the context of the energy infrastructure.
