Visit Nepal 2020 Secretariat and the UKAid Skills for Employment Programme (Seep) have collaborated for 'better skilling and up-skilling initiatives' in the tourism sector, as announced at an event held in Kathmandu today.
Speaking on the occasion, national coordinator of Visit Nepal Year 2020 Suraj Vaidya said that the country needs to think and take tourism mindset and efforts beyond Mt Everest, Pokhara or Chitwan. “For us at the VNY2020 campaign, the success metric is not just bringing in 2 million tourists but also creating new investments, new jobs, and new opportunities for enterprising Nepalis, especially our migrant returnees coming back with skills and resources,” he said.
Addressing the occasion private sector development advisor at the Department of International Development (DFID) Nepal Rob Clark said that this year's theme of 'Tourism and Jobs: A Better Future for All' was apt and timely for both Nepal and the UKAid Seep in the context of VNY2020.
