The Capital Development Authority (CDA) has taken a key step toward enhancing Islamabad’s tourism landscape by approving consultancy services for three major recreational projects: a theme park, a Ferris wheel, and a cable car system.
In its 75th meeting on Tuesday, the Development Working Party (DWP) of the CDA approved PC-II level projects for hiring consultants to conduct feasibility studies and prepare detailed designs for all three initiatives.
According to an official statement, the approved consultancy services include:
- Theme Park: Feasibility study and design services approved at a cost of Rs. 206 million.
- Ferris Wheel: Feasibility and design services to be carried out for Rs. 61.8 million.
- Cable Car Project: Consultancy approved at an estimated cost of Rs. 197.76 million.
Officials highlighted that Islamabad, now home to over two million people, faces a growing demand for quality recreational and entertainment facilities. As a prominent domestic and international tourist destination, the city is seen as ripe for such developments.
The feasibility studies and design work are expected to be completed within six months. The final decision to execute these projects will depend on the outcome of the consultancy reports and subsequent approvals.
