Nepal has witnessed a surge in tourist arrivals in recent years.
In 2011, which was designated ‘Visit Nepal Year’ by the country’s
Ministry of Tourism, more than 544,000 tourists entered the
country through Kathmandu’s Tribhuvan International Airport – 21%
more than in 2010. This trend has continued in
2012, with arrivals increasing 23% in the first four months of
this year, to almost 208,000.
With an increasing
number of flight connections to Kathmandu, including the launch of
new low-cost services by flydubai, Air Arabia, SpiceJet and IndiGo
in recent years, demand for this enticing destination looks set to
grow and grow.
