Bird Tourism To Lure Tourists

  53 sec to read

Nepal Birds Protection Association has introduced a new package to attract tourists. Dr Hum Gurung, the CEO of the association said this will help exploit the opportunity of bird watching for tourism development. The package proposed by the association has also been taken positively by the Ministry of Tourism and Civil Aviation.
 
There are 868 species of birds identified in Nepal. The association has declared 27 regions including Koshi Tappu, Annapurna, Chitwan, Bardia and Shuklaphanta as the areas for bird watching. Each of these regions provide habitat to between 400 and 500 bird species.
 
Gurung added that Rs 300,000 has already been disbursed to introduce the package. Gurung claimed that as bird watchers are rich and high-end tourists, this package would help attract them to Nepal.
 

He also informed that 15 per cent of the income generated from the package would be used for the protection of birds. Currently, only one percent of tourists coming to Nepal go bird watching.
