Tourist arrivals cross 1mln mark in 2018

The Nepal Tourism Board reports that tourist arrivals in 10 months from January to November in 2018 has crossed one million with 1,001,930 arrivals, an cumulative increase of 17 per cent over the same period in 2017.

According to the Board, the consistent and upward momentum continued through the peak tourist season during October and November 2018 without accounting for overland international visitors. If the visitors who entered Nepal via land are accounted for, the figures when compared to 2017 would suggest a 23 per cent hike in number of tourists, the Board said in a statement.
