The Nepal Tourism Board (NTB) is organizing an international expo on adventure tourism and mountaineering in Kathmandu on the last week of this month for promoting Nepal as the adventure hub of Asia.
The three-day Global Adventure and Mountaineering Conference and Expo (GAMCE)-2018 is a unique one to be held in the Himalayan country, which is popular for adventure tourism due to its prominent peaks. Nepal has half of the world’s 14 tallest mountains.
The NTB CEO Deepak Raj Joshi said that they aim to boost Nepal as an adventure hub for Asia if not the world, where adventure buyers and sellers could transact adventure products and services not only from Nepal but from around the world.
The NTB has plans to develop GAMCE as a market platform for adventure tourism. Joshi said, “For example, we can provide the services of good tourist guides to international companies during the event.”
Foreign tourists visiting Nepal find its adventurous activities, mainly mountaineering highly exciting. The country is famous for mountaineering due to large number of Himalayan peaks including the world’s highest Mt. Qomolangma
