Visit Nepal Campaign by the Government of Nepal to promote Tourism in Nepal has been in talks for a while since 2015. First, it was announced to be held in 2018 but later postponed to 2020 for various reasons. The official logo, revealed in June, has a tagline “Visit Nepal for lifetime experiences.” If you are planning your vacation around 2020, then Nepal would undoubtedly be an ideal destination, be it with friends and family or solo.
Nepal is popular for its majestic Himalayan range but lesser known planes are equally beautiful. Because Nepal’s altitude ranges from Plane grassland in Terai as low as 59m to up to 8000m high mountains in the Himalayas, weather and therefore the biodiversity here is unlike anywhere in the world.
Although there had been many such visits Nepal campaigns with different names in the past devoted towards attracting tourists from around the world, one that stands out is visiting Nepal year 1998. It was the milestone in Nepalese tourism for it brought together private and public sector to work in cooperation towards the common goal of uplifting the Nepali Tourism industry. Although the target of 500,000 tourists wasn’t achieved, Campaign sure had helped a lot in bringing Nepal into the global market as one of the beautiful tourist destinations in the world. As an effort to overcome the effect the Earthquake in 2015 had had on Nepalese economy, Visit Nepal 2018 was announced however as complete rehabilitation of heritage sites and constructions of airports, roads, and other infrastructures were not deemed possible by 2018, Campaign was postponed to 2020.
To make it happen, all the stakeholders are promoting it aggressively by doing what they can. Early completion of construction and rehabilitation of heritage sites and infrastructures is being prioritized. Tourism act is likely to have some amendments to make it more contextual in 2020. Casino Regulation, Travel and Trekking Regulation and Mountaineering Expedition Regulation have also been planned to get reviewed and amended. Gautama Buddha Airport is in the process of being upgraded to international standard. Similarly, Pokhara International Airport is under construction and likely to be ready by 2020. Government plans to increase the business hour of Tribhuvan International Airport to serve more tourists. Air services agreements with different nations from all around the world are being reviewed and are likely to be finalized. All the famous mountain trails have been thoroughly analyzed and confirmed safe by government-appointed Engineers.
4 star and 5-star hotels of Kathmandu are likely to add new rooms and lots of smaller hotels, restaurants, resorts, guest houses and homestays are likely to increase in number by 2020 to meet the demand of potential tourists.
Nepal consistently tops the list of the travel destination in different travel websites for reason. While the highlight of the tourist attraction is the majestic Himalayan range, Nepal is also culturally rich with several world heritage sites recognized by UNESCO. Bio diverse National parks and sheer hospitality of Nepalese people makes Nepal enticing. Nepal has some catching up to do when it comes to Inclusive tourism.

Although little late, Nepal’s first step towards acknowledging the potential of inclusive tourism has been taken with the launch of first trekking trail for differently abled people in Pokhara in March.
