Nepal Tourism Board (NTB) is launching the Visit
Nepal Year 2020 campaign driven by the objective to receive two million
tourists by 2020, a target that has been bolstered by an encouraging annual
growth of more than 25 per cent in tourist arrivals from India. The country
would want tourists, travel trade operators and tourists from around the
world to visit the country to witness the warmth of Nepalese hospitality and
get a glimpse of its vibrant culture.

| Nepal has a diverse landscape that has something on offer for everyone. |
Nepal is abound with world-famous mountain trails,
spiritual sites, and luxury hotels that make it the perfect destination for
adventure seekers as well as leisure, business, and MiCE travellers. The
Government of Nepal is fervently working towards infrastructural development in
the country to support the ever-growing tourist arrivals. By 2020, it plans to
operate two new international airports as well, one in Pokhara and another in
Lumbini, and introduce the Airbus 330-200 to provide airline services to the
growing number of tourists. The government also plans to operate Tribhuvan
International Airport in Kathmandu for an additional three hours from the
regular 18, to ensure continued availability of service to both incoming and
outgoing tourists.

Commenting on the growing number of travellers from
India to Nepal, SanJeet, Director, Buzz Travel Marketing India, says, “The
Indian market continues to be one of the most important contributors of
international visitors to Nepal. Over the years, there has been a steady
increase in both MiCE and FIT movement to Nepal from India, a trend that led to
the double-digit growth in arrivals in the previous year. Friendly relations between
the two South Asian nations and Nepal’s growing focus on tourism from India
have helped cement the bond even further.”

Nepal is also set to add 4000 rooms in the four and
five-star categories, in Kathmandu, Chitwan and Pokhara. A number of international
hotel chains, including Hilton and Marriott, are expected to operate properties
in Nepal in the coming years. These positive developments coupled with the
innovative approach of the government and the tourism board are sure to make
2020 a riveting year for tourism in Nepal!
