The second edition of Far-Western Regional Tourism Fair-2014 is going to be held on February 21^-23 at Mahendranagar in Kanchanpur.

The fair organised by Nepal Tourism Board (NTB) mainly aims at identifying tourist destinations in Far Western and Eastern regions of Nepal, promoting domestic tourism, promoting tourism heritages and destinations in different parts of Nepal, creating awareness about improved quality of life through tourism industry in rural areas, promoting home-stay tourism, disseminating information on regional and national institutions related to tourism, assisting marketing of tourism by creating a network of private sectors of tourism and preserving local arts and culture.
The fair will be opened to the invitees on February 21 – from 10 am to 1 pm – and to the public thereafter. The stakeholders and public will have a free access to the fair on the rest two days.

The second Far-Western Regional Tourism Fair is expected to effectively impart visual information on new tourist destinations identified across the country and convene various institutions related to service and hospitality training for tourism and tourists, said the Nepal Tourism Board (NTB) claiming that the long term tourism development is reliant on the development of tourism packages, hence, available tourism packages in the fair will be promoted.

Some 32 institutions from different parts of Nepal will be participating in the fair that is also offering exciting door prizes for the attendees that include various cross-regional travel and tour packages.
