Tourism Year 2011

Nepal Tourism Year 2011 is finally here and so is the new government, increased power failure and countless many more challenges. Despite all this the hopes and aspirations are still high. With most financial indicators around the world unveiling much stable and better figures than in the last few years, tourism entrepreneurs are now hoping for recovery to be back on track.

With additional new trekking routes like the Great Himalayan Trail that combines a lot of existing network trails into a grueling journey across the Himalayas, the Indigenous Peoples Trail, the new year looks like a year filled with hope and optimism. The International airport in Kathmandu has also undergone some work to make it more comfortable and spacious for travelers. The departure lounge has been extended and the processing of visa and other formalities made quicker at arrivals.

While all infrastructure development to attract a million tourists, the official government target is in place the outcome needs to be seen yet.
