NEPAL and Emerging Destination Tourism

Long before the convention centers and star hotels made their scene here in Nepal, Kathmandu was already a meeting hub for outsiders as it was at the center of the thriving trans-Himalayan trade. Kathmandu made an important rendezvous for merchants not only for the exchange of goods but also ideas and philosophies. Over the decades, motorized transportation has replaced the mule caravans, but Kathmandu continues to live up to its legacy as a meeting jaunt. Today, the city boasts international standard meeting facilities, and offers delegates a choice of exciting pre-and post-conference tours to make any conference successful as well as rewarding.
Nepal’s international recognition as an exceptional meeting place dates from 1987 when Nepal successfully held the third SAARC Summit, the annual conclave of the Heads of State or Government of the South Asian region, in Kathmandu. Since then, many regional and international congregations have chosen Nepal as the venue for their deliberation largely because Nepal is the best destination for MICE activities in Asia. They include several Travel Agents Associations of India (TAAI) conventions and PATA Adventure Travel & Ecotourism conferences and marts.
It is not without reason that in repeated polls at Incentive & Business Travel & Meetings exhibitions, Nepal has been ranked as one of the destinations perceived to be “hot” prospect for the meetings and incentives market. You will find everything here that one could possibly look for in holding a successful world-class caucus that starts from a great location to excellent infrastructure, comprehensive high-tech convention facilities and the level of expertise available in staging international events successfully.
And a conference, seminar or special incentive need no longer be held only in the capital city, Kathmandu. Given Nepal’s scenic splendors and unique blend of cultures, a seminar or conference in mountainous Jomsom, or in the hill resort of Nagarkot or Dhulikhel, or in the lake city of Pokhara, or in the plains of Biratnagar or Birgunj can be an experience to cherish.
