The majority of whom were hotel employees. Because the Pearl Continental hotel is the location. Where the vast majority of international and domestic investors choose to stay. While they are in Gwadar it selected. As the target of an attempt to terrify and dissuade investors from traveling to the city. Since 2019 saw a significant increase in security measures implemented.
