A lot of foreign vloggers have been coming to Pakistan and making vlogs in an attempt to promote tourism. Alyne who goes by the page ‘Dear Alyne’ made a vlog on Pakistan as a part of her ‘The $100 show:’
And while many people were loving it, others were a little disappointed:

Many wanted the tourism industry to develop properly:
Don’t usually do the whole demented caps thing but this time I am going to make an exception. BUILD A FUNCTIONAL AND SUSTAINABLE TOURISM INDUSTRY BEFORE MAKING THESE GOD AWFUL PROMOTIONAL VIDEOS. https://t.co/DbDtZTJYCW

Lol!
The medical tourism part was essential to this video considering the potential tourist will be eating $1 meals https://t.co/REwns68Shf

But there were many who were loving the video and Alyne’s efforts to promote tourism:

Some were confused at the way others were reacting to it:
They way liberals are reacting to this video is just ridiculous. She's promoting tourism, and if youre getting good value for money, there isn't a better way to promote anything. Besides this will help the poor people in those areas.
Liberals are inbreds. https://t.co/VsTx1pAS90— Mehdi (@SzpilmanStinson) November 26, 2019
Many found it to be heart warming:
What a heart warming video about my beautiful country. #Pakistan #NaturalBeauty https://t.co/bUfwjj7suw
