Tourism minister proposes unshackling travel to revive economy

The Covid-19 Crisis Management Committee will discuss the proposals aimed at revitalising the economy before sending them to the cabinet for approval, officials said.

Tourism Minister Yogesh Bhattarai said on Thursday that they had proposed four actions to help revitalise the economy even as the fight against the virus continues—increase flight frequency, allow projects to bring foreign technicians, resume domestic flights and open trekking and mountaineering.
