Hotels in Himalayan Region ‘Resume’ Operation
Notice (8): Undefined index: caption [APP/View/Articles/view.ctp, line 241]

January 8: Hotels in some Himalayan region have resumed hospitality service after no recent cases of Covid-19 were reported in those areas.

Although arrival of foreign tourists has come to a halt, the hotels in those areas have shifted their focus to domestic tourists.

Stakeholders say many such hotels and lodges in high Himalayan areas have started regular business.

According to the chairman of Hotel and Tourism Entrepreneurs Association of Rasuwa, Ram Sharan Gajurel, around 200 hotels and lodges from Dhunche to Lantang area as well as Gosainkunda, Rasuwagadhi, Helambu, Dadepati among other areas have resumed operation.

He added that Rasuwa district has not been much affected by Covid-19 and therefore hotels as well as schools have reopened in the region.

The impact of Covid-19 had rendered 70 guides and more than 400 workers jobless in the region. They are now hopeful of revival of tourism industry.

Tourism entrepreneurs say that Covid-19 has caused more trouble to the industry than the Maoist insurgency and the devastating earthquake of 2015.
