Talking about Nepal isn’t a new thing but by 2020 it’s predicted that over 100,000 Australians will be visiting the 414 peaks and 6,000 rivers that make the country nature’s playground.
Who would have thought that in 2017, 33,371 Australians visited Nepal. Of course these travellers are using a Travel Agent as who really knows what to do and where do go. Right?
Good news is, the Nepalese government announced that the country is now politically, socially and economically settled and ready for more tourists.
YES, this means that through new campaigns targeting Aussies over the next few years, it is expected that visitor numbers will reach over 100,000. Agents it’s time to peak into Nepal.
In a country where English is widely understood, this is such a draw card for Aussies to pack their bags and mingle with the 26 million Nepalese locals.
Following the earthquake in April 2015, nearly all of the historic buildings have been restored and are open to the public.
