Nepal Expects More Chinese Visitors

With the new tourist season (spring) arriving, Nepal may become a preferred destination for international tourists showing their interest in culture and adventure. Since the start of 2022, tourism activities have resumed globally because of the receding of COVID-19. The sensitive hospitality business and other segments of the world economy had remained badly affected with the outbreak of the pandemic three years back. Nepal has recorded a steady recovery in tourist arrivals since last year when the nation welcomed more than 600,000 foreign tourists. Despite a deadly air crash in Pokhara on January 15 this year, tourist arrivals in the country for that month remained encouraging. A total of 55,074 foreign tourists entered the nation by air last month as compared to only 16,436 travellers who came here in the same month last year.
