Introduction
Nepal Tourism Board is the national tourism organization of Nepal established in 1998 by an Act of Parliament in the form of partnership between the Government of Nepal and private sector tourism industry to develop and market Nepal as an attractive tourist destination.
The Board provides platform for vision-drawn leadership for Nepal’s tourism sector by integrating Government commitment with the dynamism of private sector.
NTB promotes Nepal as a premier holiday destination in the international market through traditional and new media. Similarly, it also promotes tourism in the domestic market; and coordinates sustainable tourism, product development and product diversification activities too.
Fund for NTB is collected in the form of tourist service fee from departing foreign passengers at the Tribhuvan International Airport, Kathmandu, thus keeping it financially independent.
The Board chaired by the Secretary at the Ministry of Culture, Tourism and Civil Aviation consists of 11 board members with 5 Government representatives, five private sector representatives and the Chief Executive Officer.
“Nepal – Lifetime Experiences” is the tourism brand of Nepal. It is a simple expression that repackages the Nepal brand in a positive light as a destination offering unparalleled, authentic and transformational experiences.
