We see BTM as a strategically right platform to promote Nepal in the respective border cities in India as our tourism industry is able to reach to the prospective travelers under the single roof," reiterates Surya Thapaliya, Senior Manager, NTB.

Nepal offers an unchallenged tourism experience from Jungle safari to cultural immersion to majestic mountains in its enchanting landscape. With more than 300 million Indian populace in its neighboring Indian states and enviable population dividends of young India, Nepal is driving its ambition of attracting Indian visitors to experience the spiritual realms of Pashupatinath, Pathivara and adventure of hills and mountains to great hospitality of the multiple culture of more than one hundred ethnic community.

The whole tourism fraternity assembling in BTM shall envision the beginning of common understanding to promote Eastern Himalayan tourism both as a geographic region and a large Himalayan tourism destination. This idea and perspective shall find a voice in the BTM among the operators, experts and public sector from the participating countries. Tourism is the accelerator of economic prosperity and also a catalyst to champion the cause of social justice and environmental conservation and sustainable tourism at large.

This event shall reap rich yield of development of our common heritage that is tourism.
