In a bid to promote Nepali culture, lifestyle and tourism products of Nepal, a three-day NATTA Himalayan International Travel Mart 2007 is being organized from May 11 to 13, 2007 in Kathmandu.
The fair also aims at boosting domestic tourism by highlighting different destinations and encouraging a competitive environment for service development among them.
“At this fair, we hope to bring together all the stakeholders of Nepali tourism development, marketing and promotion agencies. For, tourism is not an isolated domain of just Nepal tourism Board but involves everybody,” informed Subhash Nirola, officiating CEO of NTB, announcing the details of the travel mart to the media Sunday.
More than 100 tour operators from India, Bangladesh, China, Spain, Malaysia, Thailand, Singapore, Hong Kong and UAE have already confirmed their participation in the mart.
However, the 1st NATTA International Travel Mart in 2005 had been participated in by more than 200 tour operators.
According to NTB officials, the travel mart this year is bound to attract more international attention as it is being conducted in a changed political environment. Holding such fairs was imperative for the country in order to send out the message of prevailing peace and tranquility to the world community.
Moreover, it was a perfect platform for both local and foreign tour operators to know each others’ requirements for future. The ultimate goal, of course, is to establish Nepal as the most “enchanting next generation holiday destination,” they added.
