The government is inaugurating Visit Nepal Year 2020 (VNY2020) campaign from the Dasharath Stadium on January 1.
Addressing the fifth meeting of the main organisation committee of the VNY campaign today, tourism minister Yogesh Bhattarai confirmed that the campaign will be inaugurated from the Dasharath Stadium by President Bidhya Devi Bhandari in active participation of Prime Minister KP Sharma Oli along with ministers, chief ministers of seven provinces, national and international diplomats, tourism ministers from 40 countries, chiefs of international airline companies.
The meeting also decided to include 15 other institutions in the main organisation committee for the effective implementation of the VNY 2020.
The meeting also decided to celebrate the inaugural ceremony for two days – December 31 and January 1 as pre-event day and the main event. On December 31, street festivals will be organised in Thamel, while pictures of different tourist locations of the country will also be displayed on Ghantaghar through hightech light projector as a pre event.
Likewise, the main organising committee will light 2020 lamps at Swoyambhunath, Pashupatinath, Janakpur, Boudhanath Stupa and Lumbini to commemorate the event.
On January 1 – according to the committee – some 108 conch-shells will be blown together at Pashupatinath and monks will organise a chanting session at Swoyambhunath in the morning. The tourists travelling to Nepal – on the first day – will receive surprise gifts at Tribhuvan International Airport (TIA), while welcome souvenirs will be provided to tourists at domestic airports across the country.
Requesting the stakeholders to come up with attractive packages for tourists during the campaign period, Bhattarai – on the occasion – asked all tourism organisations and associations to submit their one-year plan for VNY 2020 within a week.
The government is easing entrance fee for tourists in different destinations across the country, he said, adding that the government will arrange different packages and royalty discounts for the climbers to encourage mountaineers to attempt virgin peaks. “The meeting also decided to provide language and behavioural training to 1,000 taxi drivers in the valley.”
Committing to enact new laws and amend the existing ones to address genuine demands of tourism entrepreneurs, Bhattarai also said that talks were being held with international airline companies to increase the number of flights to Nepal.
Addressing the meeting, coordinator of VNY campaign committee Suraj Vaidya said that the events being prepared for VNY will not only target one year but will be effective even after that.
