Pakistan's tourism sector is projected to reach PKR 12.4 trillion (7.6% of GDP) by 2036. The digital layer is its cheapest lever — and AI has collapsed its cost. This platform is already built on the government's own content. Choose your door:
We co-apply to British Council CPF (£500K), UNESCO ICH (~$100K), US AFCP ($25–500K). You sign one content-authority letter.
A component of already-approved projects — the Rs 416M R&D Centre ("soft image of Pakistan through cultural heritage") needs a delivery layer. We are it.
Jazz/Telenor/banks sponsor branded batches and zero-rating. Government gets it free.
KP tourism budget alone is Rs 1.37B (3× the federal heritage division). First province gets the flagship.
10,000+ documented sites on one map, one AI guide, 9 languages.
Heritage Academy tracks & school batches on Maahir's engine (671+ learners, 21,100+ practice items).
Living Archive — citizen fieldwork missions with review. The 2003 ICH Convention requires a national inventory; ours revives one that died in 2019.
Digitization, documentation & guiding skills for DOAM staff, museums, provinces.
Artisan digital economy + certified guides — heritage livelihoods.
