The government is going to introduce Nepal Tourism Master Plan, 2006 aimed at maintaining regional balance and alleviating poverty by developing Nepal as a destination of natural beauty and quality tourism facilities.
The 15-year Master Plan, targeted to be completed by 2020, stresses the integrated development of tourism by utilizing the historical, cultural, religions and archaeological heritages of the country.
Visitors arriving to Nepal by air route, during the month of February 2007, observed a very positive upsurge in numbers, a 62.6% increase compared to the same month last year.
The growth, with not a single market declining, was outstanding not only from the Asian countries but also substantially from Europe and USA.
With the vastly improved situation in the country, the rising confidence of international travel trade and consumers has paved the way for more travelers to visit Nepal. |
