  • Water Sports Regulations of Pakistan (For Sea/Coastal Areas)
    WATER SPORTS REGULATIONS OF PAKISTAN (FOR SEA/COASTAL AREAS) 2019 1 Preface With Pakistan’s coastline spanning about a thousand kilometers, every inch of it provides a sensational opportunity for tourism. All the beaches along Pakistan’s coast have huge prospects for development and conduct of a wide variety of water sports: parasailing, scuba diving, surfing, sailing, speed boating/water scooter riding, sea kayaking etc. Karachi is Pakistan’s largest city and currently the hub of all water sports which are carried out in Pakistan. Currently majority of watersports activities carried out by private individuals are being run on ad-hoc basis without defined set of safety standards. This is also largely due to the fact that there has been no facilitation by the government to provide any framework which sets guidelines to be adhered by. The watersports Regulations at sea aims to provide an extensive framework for the administering water sports in coastal areas of Pakistan. Water sports are part and parcel of the Coastal Tourism sector, unfortunately this sector could not get focused attention, and as a result water sports activities have gone unregulated without any institutional oversight and laws. The proposed watersports regulations would be helpful to build up a sustainable coastal tourism sector and water sports industry which would make Pakistan a favorable destination globally for coastal tourism and renowned for its water sports industry. National Institute of Maritime Affairs was delegated by the Ministry of Defence to uptake this task of formulating the pioneering framework for regulating the water sports industry in Pakistan. After thorough research and consulting various stakeholder, NIMA presents this policy framework which is first of its kind hoping to promoted sustainable coastal tourism and water sports activities in Pakistan.
