Tourism entrepreneurs to introduce tour packages

NEPALGUNJ: Tourism entrepreneurs from three provinces have decided to work together and introduce tour packages for the promotion of tourism. Nepal Association of Tour and Travel Agents (NATTA) Banke Chapter announced this after organising a four-day 'Tour Product Development and Ticketing' training.  The training is being organised in collaboration with the NATTA Centre and Livelihood Revival Project for Sustainable Tourism. Central Secretary of NATTA, Yuvika Bhandari, said the training will be fruitful in preparing skilled human resources in the field of tourism, as shortage of skilled human resources in the field of tourism has increased after the Covid 19 pandemic. She said such training has been started in different places of the country under the plan of Nepal Tourism Board to address the shortage of human resource in the tourism sector. Speaking on the occasion Mayor of Nepalgunj Prashant Bista said that tourism can become a strong and permanent base for the country's economy. He expressed his hope that there will be uniformity in the tour package developed by the tourism entrepreneurs of the three provinces after the training. President of NATTA Banke Chapter Ram Sigdel mentioned that the training organised for the first time in Western Nepal will enable tourism businesspersons to create travel packages from identifying the destination to managing the necessary tickets for tourists going to destinations around the world. Altogether 30 tour and travel operators from Lumbini, Karnali and Sudurpaschim provinces are participating in the training. By RSS READ ALSO:
