The figures released by the Immigration Office, Tribhuvan International Airport reveal that visitor arrivals in the month of November 2013 by air, have decreased by 7.01 per cent , compared to the same month last year. A total of 55,245 international visitors arrived in Nepal in the month of November which is less by 4,166 tourists over November 2012. In November 2012, a total of 59,411 tourists visited Nepal by air.
 
Nepal observed a sustained growth in international tourist arrivals since June 2009 but suffered a decline in the second half of 2013.  “Experts suggest that 
the decrease in arrivals in November might be due to the inconsistent air fare to and from Nepal to major gateways and coinciding with the Constituent Assembly election in Nepal on the 19th of November 2013,” says a statement from Nepal Tourism Board.   
 
  In November 2013, the number of Nepali arrivals from Tribhuwan International Airport declined by 27 per cent compared to the same month last year. A total of 52,970 Nepalis arrived in Nepal in November 2013, whereas this figure was 72,735 in November 2012.  It is expected that the forthcoming year in tourism is going to improve as Nepal is heading towards stability.
