GOOD NEWS for all the people who work in tourism

No quarantine and No Covid insurance for Tourists visiting Nepal and going Trekking/Mountaineering

The government has decided to allow foreign tourists carrying a negative PCR test report to visit Nepal after October 17.
A meeting of the Council of Ministers held at Prime Minister’s residence last evening approved a proposal presented by the Ministry of Culture, Tourism and Civil Aviation to allow foreign tourists who get tested negative for Coronavirus 72 hours before departing their home country to visit Nepal without staying at hotel quarantine for seven days, according to sources.
However, arriving tourists should stand for the antigen test or instant PCR test for reconfirmation immediately upon arriving at Kathmandu airport, the sources said citing the MOCTCA proposal.
The government also plans to waive off COVID insurance of US$ 5,000 for visiting tourists but the travelers must assure that their medical costs would be covered by themselves or the handling agencies, should they contract Covid-19 while staying in the country, sources added.
Foreigners meeting required criteria will also be provided visa on arrival at Tribhuvan International Airport after October 17.
The tourism ministry confirmed that preparations are underway to introduce new protocols for foreign tourists incorporating aforementioned provisions to boost tourism activities in the country.
Talking to THT online, Minister Yogesh Bhattarai said that his ministry would announce the protocols after consulting with COVID-19 crisis management center in a day or two. “We are ready to facilitate tourism activities addressing stakeholders’ concerns,” he added.
Earlier, the ministry had introduced a protocol laying conditions that the tourists must secure an entry-visa, or an entry-permit in absence of visa-provision in their countries in co-ordination with respective agencies. Also, the a mandatory week-long hotel quarantine and COVID insurance of US$ 5000 provisions also drew criticisms from stakeholders.
“The revised provisions would certainly help expedite tourism activities in the country,” MoCTCA sources quipped.
Tourism entrepreneurs have already started necessary preparations to run their businesses after Oct 17 once international commercial flights resume in a full swing

"The tourism industry is lining up destinations which earlier had few takers, but now have the potential to become the rage due to trend changes prompted by Covid-19. After being cooped up at home for months following the virus lockdown, and the need to maintain social distance still very relevant with the outbreak showing no signs of abating, thrill-seekers will want to be away from crowds and close to nature in open spaces. They will want to venture into nature and engage in activities that promise a lifetime experience in rural areas in particular. So both hosts and guests are trying to explore new areas. Once the travel industry resumes operations, this trend will not only accelerate but also emerge stronger, " writes Sunil Sharma . Read more on how and why rural tourism could be the trend in the post COVID-19 era in Nepal.

A shift towards rural destinations holds the key to post-lockdown tourism revival.

Prince Harry has praised the people of Nepal for their "unwavering" spirit amid the "devastating and destructive" coronavirus pandemic.
He said: "Almost five years ago, I travelled to Nepal to visit communities, meet families, and see first hand how the country was rebuilding following the devastating 2015 earthquake. Buildings, temples, homes, and entire villages had been completely demolished. But It was clear that despite everything the Nepalese faced, their spirit and their resilience never weakened. There was a clear sense of care and compassion for each other.

Prince Harry has wished participants well in the Trailwalker Relay 2020 virtual team event. The event is held by the Gurka Welfare Trust and Oxfam will see c...
