NCC calls on government to bring financial package to tourism sector

Kathmandu - Nepal Chamber of Commerce (NCC) has called on the government to bring a fiscal stimulus package for reviving the tourism sector that has been hardest hit by the COVID-19 pandemic. An NCC delegation led by its president Rajesh Kaji Shrestha called for such package in suggestions it presented before the Minister for Tourism and Civil Aviation, Yogesh Kumar Bhattarai, on Monday.

NCC urged the government to rescue the hotel and airlines companies by means of fiscal package as these sectors have been badly dented by the impact of COVID-19. It also called for bailing out the tourism sector as a whole from the adverse economic impact of the coronavirus by means of various measures.
