Nepal Government in consultation with Nepalese travel trade sector & concerned organizations decided on October 25, 2008 to lunch a national campaign “Nepal Tourism Year 2011”. This announcement reflects the government’s anticipation to bring into Nepal one million international tourists by the year 2011 & tourism industry’s exigency to organize a tourism promotion campaign for wider impact.

The concept of Nepal Tourism Year 2011 also called Visit Nepal 2011, envisions harnessing these opportunities and strengths and bringing together the commitment of the government, expertise and experiences of the organizations like Nepal Tourism Board, aptitude and dynamism of the private sector and communities for further tourism development in the country. Representation and active participation from the major political parties, members of the Constitution Assembly and Right groups is always taken into prominence in order to make the campaign inclusive and participatory in modus operandi and effective in result. The campaign will also focus on mobilizing the networks of the Non-Resident Nepalis (NRN) communities, Nepalese diplomatic missions abroad, INGOs and NGOs, airlines and national and international media. Similarly, friends and well-wishers of Nepal, tourism academicians and celebrities will be approached in order to highlight the campaign internally as well as internationally.

Let's promote Nepal as Tourism venture for the year 2011.
