Lahore, May 10, 2016 (PPI-OT):ASEAN Retail Chains and Franchise Federation, one of the leading group of companies in Malaysia, has shown keen interest in setting up a state of the art amusement park in Lahore during a meeting at Punjab Board of Investment and Trade today.
Delegation members told PBIT team that for this project 300 acres of land would be needed at a place that is easily accessible, ideally near the motorway.
