The tourist surge is giving a notable boost to the local economy. Hotels, restaurants, and roadside vendors are experiencing increased business, and the overall activity is reviving the region’s seasonal trade.
However, this renewed tourism wave has also brought long-standing issues back into focus. Murree continues to suffer from poor infrastructure, including limited parking, water shortages, frequent power cuts, and environmental damage due to deforestation. Residents and tourists alike are calling for urgent improvements to preserve the hill station’s natural charm.
