Nepal Launches Campaign to Support Tourism After Bhotekoshi Floods
Following the devastating Bhotekoshi flash floods in late August, Nepal has launched the "Nepal Calling" social media campaign to reassure international tourists that key destinations and Himalayan trekking routes remain open. Tourism Minister Khadak Raj Poudel emphasized that visiting now supports the country’s recovery. Tourism contributes about 6.7% to Nepal’s GDP and provides over one million jobs. The floods struck just before the peak September-November season, causing some cancellations and economic concerns, but the government highlights the disaster’s limited geographic impact.
