Nepal is often considered one of the best places for travel because of its amazing Himalayan beauty, exotic multicultural aspects and natural beauty. Visitors from all parts of the world throng to Nepal by the thousands every year, especially for trekking. As such, the tourism sector of Nepal has a lot of potential for growth and expansion.
The Ministry of Culture, Tourism and Civil Aviation (MoCTCA) has now planned to organize ‘Visit Nepal Year’ in 2020 to attract more tourists to the country. The government has set a target to bring in two million tourists each year by the targeted year. A secretariat for the ‘Visit Nepal Year’ will be established shortly to make necessary preparations.
Nepal will also frame country-wise tourism promotion strategy and its implementation- an effort that will help the tourism promotion organizations to carry out promotional activities to tap potential outbound travellers of concerned countries.
The action plan also includes plans to amend the Tourism Act, with the vision of making it more contextual. It also aims to amend the Casino Regulation, the Travel and Trekking Regulation and the Mountaineering Expedition Regulation.
A survey will also be carried out by MoCTCA to expand the line agencies of the ministry and the departments to the provincial and local levels. It will also frame a master plan for the preservation of tourist sites. The Tourism Act is set to bring an approximation of about 2 million tourists to Nepal.
