The Case of Kartarpur Corridor and its Economic Implications on Pakistan

Abstract

This research delves into the origins and consequences of Pakistan's regional prosperity would be significantly impacted economically by the Kartarpur Corridor, which links India and Pakistan. It creates potential for the tourist industry to thrive by offering a direct path for Sikh pilgrims to travel to the famous Gurdwara Darbar Sahib. In addition to generating income from religious tourism, this inflow of tourists also promotes neighbourhood businesses, resulting in job possibilities and supporting auxiliary services. Additionally, enhanced access may result in increasing trade and economic cooperation between Pakistan and India, which might benefit cross-border commerce and support the stability and economic prosperity of the nation. The Kartarpur Corridor does, however, have a lot of economic potential, and realising that potential depends on good management, infrastructural development, and diplomatic measures to assure long-term economic advantages for Pakistan and regional stability.
