Travel operators urge tourists to keep visiting Nepal after floods
Travel operators are urging travellers not to abandon Nepal following devastating flooding and landslides, which were described as unprecedented in scale by World Expeditions CEO Sue Badyari.1
The appeal notes that key tourism areas such as Everest, Annapurna, Manaslu and Mustang remain unaffected, and Kathmandu’s airport continues to operate normally, while Intrepid Travel highlighted tourism’s role in the country’s recovery; the disaster also destroyed a major border crossing with Tibet, disrupting a route used by thousands of pilgrims and travellers.1
