Tourist Arrival Growth for Oct 07 as Compared to Oct 06 Countrywise

In the meantime American markets such as USA (40.3%) and Canada (43.2%) have continued to show the positive result despite their Government’s travel advisory.

Total arrivals in the last nine months have gone up by 30 % (295,855 visitors by air) as compared to the same period last year.

“Each country has recorded very optimistic figures. Indian market has made negative growth. Cheap tour package floated by South East Asian and European countries have reportedly lured upward mobile Indians which is one of the reasons for decline in tourist arrivals from India. Since Cosmic Air has already resumed its service to New Delhi and other airlines are expected to increase flight frequency in this sector soon, tourists arrival will definitely increase from India in next few months. Launching of service of SilkAir from Singapore and Etihad Airways from the United Arab Emirates in the month of October has given a positive massage to the world that Nepal is a happening destination. With the operation of these two airlines, it is expected to increase the number of passengers from Singapore, Australia, Japan, New Zealand and Europe.”, says Nepal Tourism Board in its official site welcomenepal.com (www.welcomenepal.com)
