Conclusion
In spite of travel warnings still facing Nepal and political unsettling remaining in the country; to some extend, our tourism continues to grow – challenging everyone’s perception.
It seems that tourism business in Nepal ignited with the launch of Visit Pokhara 2007 and ongoing promotion of the country as a choice of destination for holiday makers and adventure seekers continue boost.
Year 2008 remains as yet another year to prove to the world community that nothing can stop the tourits visiting this Himalayan nation offering unique and awe inspiring atmosphere for travelers that can’t be found any where else on earth.
Unofficial reports indicate that year 2008 will no double be tourist year, doubling the inflow of the year 2007.
Nepal government has encouraged many Rural tourism programs and have also empowered many locals and responsible citizens to do what they can to boost the country’s tourism. People have become more serious about their actions that might damage or disrupt the tourism business. One of which is the grater realization of the need to take upon the responsibility to further boost the industry that was believed to have been gone forever just a few years ago.
It’s an excitement for everyone to report that every month tourists inflow continues to grow. As Nepal becomes more active in both domestic as well as in International arena to promote tourism products, the future looks brighter than those predicted by tourism pundits.
Some of these charts I created proves that.

Until next time, C YOU soon in Nepal!
