The STDC was established in 1990-91, with the mandate to promote tourism 

in the province of Sindh.It is a Public limited company. 
It was formed initially with an ambitious plan but suffered immediate set backs 

which adversely affected the working of the STDC. The Government has also 

not been able to provide adequate funds to the Corporation to function as a 

commercial body. In order to make the Corporation fully functional and 

attractive to the tourists within country and abroad a one time loan/grant-in-

aid of Rs.20.00 million is recommended so that it is able to tide over its present

financial crisis and run its institutions and centres in a purposeful manner.
