After a mega launch of Nepal Tourism Year 2011 officially from the capital on February 26, the campaign is being launched outside the Kathmandu valley in April. The NTY 2011 will be launched from five different cities – Pokhara, Nepalgunj, Biratnagar, Bhairawaha and Janakpur – from east to west of the country. Various promotional programs have been organized within April in these cities aspiring to creating awareness about the ambitious national campaign that aims to attract one million tourists.

Nepal tourism board along with private sector will develop a one window policy at the border area to facilitate the services required by tourist entering Nepal by land. Facilities of Immigration, custom, transportation office, food court, handicraft exhibition centre and other related services required by the tourists will be developed at different border points. With the slogan – together for tourism, all the political parties have committed not to call for any strike and other disturbance during the year 2011.

Tourism being the largest industry in Nepal is the largest source of foreign exchange and revenue. Possessing eight out of the 10 highest mountains in the world, Nepal is a hotspot destination for mountaineers, climbers and people seeking adventure.
