This data set contains raw primary data collected via a questionnaire from local residents in the research area. The questionnaire consists of different parts comprising questions about socioeconomic and demographic indicators and questions regarding the variables of culture, wellbeing, youth and CPEC.

(travel guide, tour operators, hotel management) • Strata 2: local residents who had regular contact with tourists but they were not dependent on tourism for income. (management of fort e.g. guide etc,) and local residents who had indirect or no frequent contact with tourists and received only a part of their income from tourism. (shop keepers, restaurant ) • Strata 3: local people who had no contact with tourists or saw them only in the passing.
