Nepal Tourism Year 2011 - Nepal and the Himalaya. 'a land of high hills, mountains, raging rivers & it's rich culture'

 

Nepal's image as a "Unique Adventure Travel destination" has been challenged. It has been challenged in the name of diversification of tourism. Though it is neither a conspiracy nor am intrigue but for sometime there have been systematic challenge made to adventure tourism since the time Visit Nepal program was announced. The leaders of the tourism have been trying to sell Nepal as more than adventure travel destination. Nepal with it’s rich culture and climate and geo-diversity; make this country one of the unique destination but it is the mighty Himalayas and Mt. Everest that has been center of attraction ever since Sir Edmund Hillary and Tenzing Norgey reached the summit of Mt. Everest and caught limelight of the world.

 

The golden age of the exploration of the Himalayas had heightened the anxiety of the adventures around the world. The coronation of King Mahendra further opened the door to outside world. The story of royal family hunting in Chitwan jungle and books like "Tiger for breakfast" “Snow Leopard” and many travel journals, documentaries and picture books published during the time enhanced the adventure travel destination image firmly in the world tourism map. The mountain and the Himalayas have been used extensively as sells points to generate tourist in the past and at present and it is continue to grow; it will not be different in the years to come.

OUR SUGESSITON TO THE 2011 COMMITTEE:

It is simple to keep tourism in the track, just do couple of things immediately: Get rid of all those things that tourist don't like, involve private sector in decision policy making, and provide facilities that can help tourist arrival. Restructure Tourism Board to accommodate all majors' tourism organizations and make it a leader. Give incentive to pay 2 percent tourism tax; put it on all visible tourism related service. Re-instate trek-permit regulation and make it convenient to get. Encourage climbing expeditions and open up new trekking area under special permit. Get cooperation of Chinese Government to open up additional entry and exit pints in the northern border. The key is to keep own house in order, and visitors would just come in droves. Why spend million when million can be made by making it simple.
