PATA Nepal, the Nepal chapter of the Pacific Asia Travel Association, recently unveiled its new executive team and vision for the future of tourism in the country. The new executive team, led by President Suman Pandey, aims to take tourism in Nepal to the next level with a focus on sustainable and responsible tourism practices.
The new executive team includes prominent figures in the tourism industry in Nepal, such as Vice President Rajan Simkhada and Secretary General Suresh Singh Budal. Together, they bring a wealth of experience and expertise to the table, and are committed to promoting Nepal as a premier travel destination in the region.
Under the leadership of President Pandey, PATA Nepal has developed a new vision for tourism in the country, which they have dubbed “Tourism 2.0.” This vision aims to redefine the way tourism is perceived and practiced in Nepal, with a focus on sustainability, responsible tourism practices, and community engagement.
One of the key initiatives of Tourism 2.0 is the promotion of community-based tourism experiences, which will allow travelers to immerse themselves in the local culture and traditions of Nepal while also supporting local communities and economies. This approach will not only provide a more authentic and meaningful travel experience for visitors, but will also help to preserve and protect Nepal’s rich cultural heritage.
In addition to promoting community-based tourism, PATA Nepal will also be working to raise awareness about the importance of sustainable tourism practices among both industry stakeholders and travelers. By encouraging responsible tourism behavior, such as reducing plastic waste and supporting local businesses, the organization hopes to minimize the negative impact of tourism on the environment and local communities.
Overall, the new executive team and vision for Tourism 2.0 represent an exciting new chapter for tourism in Nepal. With a focus on sustainability, responsible tourism practices, and community engagement, PATA Nepal is poised to lead the way in promoting Nepal as a premier travel destination in the region. By working together with industry stakeholders, government agencies, and local communities, PATA Nepal is committed to creating a more sustainable and inclusive tourism industry that benefits both travelers and the people of Nepal.
