This project paper seeks the approval of the Country Director to carry out a Level 2 restructuring of the Punjab Tourism for Economic Growth (PTEG) project [P158099] with changes to project components, costs and activities, results framework (PDO indicators and intermediate results indicators) and extension in the project closing date (PCD) to October 31, 2024. The US$50 million PTEG project became effective on October 13, 2017 and has a PCD of April 30, 2023. The PTEG project has 4 components: (i) Policy, Institutions and Governance for Tourism Development; (ii) Private Investment and Entrepreneurship Promotion; (iii) Public Investment Facility; and (iv) Project Management, Monitoring, Evaluation. 2. The Project Development Objective (PDO) is to strengthen institutional capacity, increase private sector participation and improve infrastructure services in support of the tourism sector in the Punjab province. The proposed changes will not impact the PDO, as the proposed changes to components and respective reallocations will enhance the project’s ability to achieve the original mandate of institutional strengthening, mobilizing private sector investment and provision of tourist infrastructure. This document provides the justification and details of the restructuring. 3. The Mid-Term Review (MTR) of the project was done in July-August 2019. The project activities are ongoing and as of March 31, 2023, the project has achieved; (i) complete rehabilitation of six roads leading to tourist sites; (ii) procurement of laboratory and site maintenance equipment for Directorate General of Archaeology (Punjab) and local tourism authorities; (iii) preparation and dissemination of the site management plans (SMPs) for two Gurdwaras, one temple, and a shrine (Uch Sharif) in Center and South Punjab; (iv) compiling of the Museum Management Plans (MMPs) for Lahore Museum and Taxila Museum; (v) installation of 355 informational signboards at heritage sites for visitors; and (vi) completion and public disclosure of destination investment and management plans (DIMPs) in consultation with the stakeholders (academia, private sector, and federal and provincial tourism authorities) to generate the interest of private investors in Punjab’s tourism industry. 4. According to the project’s latest Implementation Status and Results Report (ISR) of December 2022, the overall Implementation Progress and progress toward achievement of PDO remains moderately satisfactory (MS). The project management rating also remains MS, while the overall safeguards compliance is rated satisfactory. All project components are rated MS. The project has disbursed US$26 million of which US$12 million was utilized as of March 31, 2023, mainly for activities including the; (i) rehabilitation of roads; (ii) procurement of tourist facilities and site maintenance equipment, and (iii) preparation and dissemination of MMPs, SMPs and DIMPs. 5. The project is being implemented by the Planning and Development (P&D) Board of Punjab through a dedicated Project Management Unit (PMU). The meetings of the Project Steering Committee (PSC) are convened under the Chairman, P&D Board. In addition, a project Working Group has also been constituted to ensure interdepartmental coordination. It comprises representatives of the P&D Board, Communications and Works (C&W) Department, and Department of Tourism (DoT) of the Government of Punjab (GoPb). 6. The United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) has been engaged by the project for the preparation of MMPs and SMPs, and heritage education interventions in the province in partnership with local communities, academia and youth to contribute towards promoting and safeguarding Punjab’s cultural heritage. II. DESCRIPTION OF PROPOSED CHANGES 7. At the request of the Government of Pakistan (GoP), through a letter from the Ministry of Economic Affairs (EAD) dated April 11, 2023, a Level 2 restructuring is being proposed to allow sufficient time for realizing the PDO, achieving the envisioned The World Bank PK: Punjab Tourism for Economic Growth Project (P158099) results and completion of project activities. The restructuring will ensure the effectiveness of PTEG project by building on the lessons already learned from project implementation and incorporating stakeholder inputs to reallocate project resources for prioritized activities. This is project’s first restructuring and the specific proposed changes include (i) extending the PCD to October 31, 2024; (ii) revision in project components and results framework to align with the latest tourism vision and priorities of the province, including skills development, encouraging public private partnerships (PPPs) and spatial treatment of areas with tourism potential for optimal resource allocation; (iii) dropping matching grants component; and (iv) adding a new component “Contingent Emergency Response Component” (CERC). (a). Change in Project Closing Date (PCD) 8. This paper proposes an extension of the PCD from April 30, 2023, to October 31, 2024, to allow sufficient time for the completion of project activities, especially heritage conservation and museum curation. (b). Removal of Matching Grants Activity from the Project 9. Due to the ongoing lending activities through the Punjab Small Industries Corporation and other financial sector intermediaries, this activity is being dropped from the project and costs are being reallocated in the revised project components. This doesn’t impact the PDO as matching grants was one of the four activities for private sector support under the original component 2. The remaining three activities (i.e., technical support for (i) encouraging PPPs, (ii) transaction advisories and (iii) investment facilitation and promotion) are still within the project scope and will continue to be pursued under the project to support the private sector enterprises and investors. (c). Revision in the Project Components and Costs 10. The changes to the project components include renaming the components to appropriately represent the revised/updated activities, revising the component costs, streamlining activities to bring more focus towards visitor facilities and heritage preservation, and the addition of CERC. 11. The revised components will support the achievement of the PDO and are being proposed after extensive consultations with the GoPb stakeholders including the P&D Board, and the DoT. Additional resources are proposed to be reallocated from Components 1 and 3 to the new Component 2 (Infrastructure and Destination Development) to ensure availability of funds for; (i) rehabilitation and conservation activities, including within the Walled City of Lahore; (ii) museum curation (including Lahore Museum and Taxila Museum) and (iii) TA to support private investments mobilization, transaction advisories, and PPP pipeline for travel and tourism projects. This will create an inclusive tourism economy for local communities by uplifting the local infrastructure, upgrading the marketplace, and providing income earning opportunities for tour guides, craftsmen, and craftswomen. 12. Additionally, the restructured components will create enabling conditions and provide financial and technical resources for the development of tourism products and services especially to; (i) showcase Walled City’s heritage and (ii) enhance the appeal and informational aspects of the heritage sites including the two museums (Lahore and Taxila). 13. Accordingly, the original PDO and intermediate indicators and targets have been revised to reflect both implementation challenges and the proposed changes to components activities. The PDO and intermediate indicators have been adjusted downward mainly due to the initial slow launch of project activities, followed by the adverse impact of COVID-19 on the pace of project implementation. The pandemic led to delayed or no market response to procurement, inability of the project teams to effectively monitor on-site implementation for almost one and a half year, and limitations to benefit as many visitors from project activities as was originally envisaged. 14. Detailed comparison of original components with revised components and cost is provided in the table 1 below. The already committed US$5 million counterpart funding will continue to be utilized for financing salaries of government officials The World Bank PK: Punjab Tourism for Economic Growth Project (P158099) working on the project, improved operations and maintenance of infrastructure assets, acquisition of land, and resettlement, if applicable, and other safeguards related costs. Table 1: Original and revised project components and cost allocations Current Component Name Current Cost Proposed Component Name Proposed Action (US$ m) Cost (US$ m) Component 1: Policy, Institutions and Governance for Tourism 11.0 Component 1: Tourism Enablement 8.0 Revised Component 2: Private Investment and 10.0 Component 2: Infrastructure and 39.0 Revised Entrepreneurship promotion Destination Development Component 3: Public Investment Revised Facility 27.0 Component 3: Project Management 3.0 Component 4: Project Management, Monitoring and 2.0 Component 4: Contingent 0.0 New Evaluation Emergency Response Component (CERC) Counterpart Financing 5.0 Counterpart Financing 5.0 Total 55.0 55.0 15. The revision to components entails consolidation of policy, planning, promotional, skills development, and private investment and destination planning activities in Component 1. Whereas the revised Component 2 includes heritage conservation, museum management, tourism infrastructure planning and rehabilitation, and identification of feasible public private partnerships in tourism sector. 16. The previous Component 3 included the matching grants, and technical assistance (TA) support to enable supply of privately financed accommodation and leisure facilities, and private concessions for hotel development. These are being removed due to the evolving priorities of the relevant departments and a need for persistent coordination between the public and private sector stakeholders. However, as envisaged in the original project Components 1 and 3, the project will continue to provide TA, training and equipment to strengthen and streamline investment promotion, facilitation and aftercare for investors in tourism related activities in collaboration with Punjab Board of Investment and Trade (PBIT). PTEG will establish liaison with the relevant PPP authority of the province and provide TA for transaction advisory and promotion of private participation in the tourism sector. The said activities for supporting the private investments and private sector participation are in the scope of new Components 1 and 2. The new Component 3 will support the project management and capacity development of the relevant GoPb departments and institutions, as needed, to ensure the achievement of results of Components 1 and 2. 17. The IDA resources available to previous components have also been reallocated to ensure more allocations for the new Component 2 supporting the tourism infrastructure and heritage conservation. This will help the project meet the demand for strengthened destination management and high-quality tourism infrastructure, as also validated by the SMPs/MMPs/DIMPs prepared by the project. The revised components are as follows: The World Bank PK: Punjab Tourism for Economic Growth Project (P158099) Component 1: Tourism Enablement (US$ 8.0 m): 18. Strengthen the policy, governance, and regulatory landscape of the tourism sector in the province through the: (i) implementation of the Punjab Tourism Policy; (ii) provision of TA, training, and equipment for implementation of a regulatory reform agenda for the tourism industry; and (iii) provision of TA, training, and equipment for the development of tourism data collection mechanism. 19. Dissemination of already prepared Destination Investment and Management Plans (DIMPs) and SMPs amongst various stakeholder to: (i) attract investors, contributing to the sustainable tourism development of the province while promoting public private partnerships (PPPs); and (ii) provision of TA, training, and equipment for strengthening and streamlining tourism investment procedures by providing support to the relevant tourism departments/ authorities. 20. Improve capacity and quality of human resource through skill development through: (i) providing opportunity to men and women to get quality tourism and craft related training; (ii) provide internships and apprenticeships opportunities to both male and female students who are placed in various line departments to enhance their learning through practical experience; and (iii) engage local communities, teachers and school going youth in safeguarding cultural heritage of Punjab by developing heritage education resource material, capacity building and training of teachers (male/female), and engaging school children in exploring and understanding diverse cultures through various activities. 21. Development of knowledge, partnerships and tourism promotion including through: (i) provision of TA and equipment for materials for a tourist marketing and public relations campaign; (ii) provision of TA for development of ownership and management models for tourist information centers; (iii) provision of TA for the development of plans, contents, and expenses for workshops and conferences with key stakeholders in the tourism sector; and (iv) support for participation in key international tourism fairs. Component 2: Infrastructure and Destination Development (US$39.0 m) 22. Rehabilitation of secondary and tertiary access roads to identified cultural and heritage sites selected as per the criteria set out in the Project Operations Manual, in collaboration with the C&W Department. 23. Development of basic infrastructure and services for public convenience facilities at identified sites, including: (i) development of parking facilities, informational and directional sign boards, solarization of at least 2 heritage sites, washroom facilities and rest areas with special attention to accessibility for women and persons with disabilities; and (ii) implementation of priority investments identified in the management plans developed under Part 1(b) of the Project. 24. Rehabilitation and conservation of heritage sites to restore their historical value and attract visitors, Component 3: Project Management and Institutional Capacity Building (US$3.0 m) The World Bank PK: Punjab Tourism for Economic Growth Project (P158099) 25. Support the management, implementation, and coordination of the Project activities, including procurement, financial management, safeguards, and monitoring and evaluation (M&E) of the project through a dedicated Project Management Unit (PMU) of the Planning and Development Department. 26. Support to the relevant departments and organizations of the GoPb including Planning and Development (P&D) Board, Department of Tourism (DoT) and its divisions, C&W, and other departments with the mandate to support the tourism sector, while also promoting linkages. 27. Contribute towards the activities that are launched by GoPb to promote the provincial Travel and Tourism (T&T) Industry. Component 4: Contingent Emergency Response Component (CERC) US$ 0 million 28. Provision of immediate response to an eligible crisis or emergency, as needed. (d) Changes in Overall Risk Ratings, Legal Covenant and Disbursement Categories 29. The legal covenants are being revised to reflect the name of the implementation entity (IE) i.e., the PMU, which was previously Punjab Resource Management Program (PRMP). Both IBRD financed ‘Punjab Jobs and Competitiveness Program for Results (J&C)’; and the PTEG project were being implemented by one Project Implementation Unit (PIU) i.e., the PRMP. Subsequently, the GoPb bifurcated the responsibilities of the PRMP into a PIU for J&C and a PMU for PTEG project. The legal covenant for the hiring of civil engineer and M&E is being removed. The legal covenants are further revised to also reflect the deletion of the matching grants activity. 30. The Technical Design and Stakeholder Risk Ratings are being revised from substantial to moderate as the revised project components were discussed extensively with the stakeholders during consultations with the relevant departments, private sector enterprises and representative forums of the travel and tourism industry, to establish the demand and sustainability of the project activities. Additionally, the implementation partners are now limited to five instead of almost a dozen entities which were initially engaged for project activities. Combined with the overall coordination being done by the P&D Board, this has addressed the earlier risk of weak coordination amongst the stakeholders. Considering these factors, the overall risk rating for the project is also being revised to moderate. 31. There is reallocation between the disbursement categories as the category for matching grants has been removed and its allocations moved to disbursement category 1. Similarly, a new category for the ‘internships/apprenticeships’ is added. 32. Internships and apprenticeships (for up to USD 100,000) to be delivered under Component 1 will be managed in accordance with the Terms of Reference (ToRs) satisfactory to the World Bank (WB). The ToRs for the apprenticeship/internship have been reviewed and cleared by the Bank and cover all aspects of internships/apprenticeships including the eligibility/selection criteria, working hours, monthly payments (of up to PKR 100,000), duration of internship/apprenticeship and reporting arrangements. The payment of stipends is released by the PMU based on endorsement from the respective beneficiary departments within the GoPb. The World Bank PK: Punjab Tourism for Economic Growth Project (P158099) 33. There are no overdue audit reports nor ineligible expenses in respect of the project, and there are no changes in the environmental and social safeguards status of the project. III.
