Kathmandu, 31 May: The First Asian Resilience Summit 2019 is kicking off in a short while  in Kathmandu today. The two-day summit is co-hosted by the Nepal Tourism Board, the Global Travel and Tourism Resilience Council, the Pacific Asia Travel Association (PATA) and the United Nations World Tourism Organization (UNWTO).

The summit is to celebrate Nepal’s recovery, address resilience on a global scale and conduct a deep dive into regional issues faced by Nepal, the GTTRC has stated in a press release.

The summit is expected to disseminate the message to the world that Nepal is a safe tourism destination after facing the difficult situation in the immediate aftermath of the Gorkha earthquake in April 2015. This event will review successful policies in Nepal which led to stabilization and growth of the travel sector.

Nepal is going through tremendous transitions in the economic and political spheres, with significant changes in the past few years in the face of challenge. The current unprecedented opportunities for partnerships, trade and foreign direct investment call for the showcasing of this unique destination.  Nepal can fulfill its potential only through an integrated approach, hence the hosting of the 2019 Asian Resilience Summit – a prelude to the Visit Nepal Campaign 2020, themed “Nepal: for Lifetime Experience”.

The Summit to be participated by more than 300 people associated with the tourism sector will discuss 30 working papers to be presented by various foreign experts.
