Tourism entrepreneurs have called foreign tourists not to change their plan of visiting Nepal, in wake of the devastating April 25 earthquake. Issuing a press release, the Nepal Association of Tour Operators (NATO) said, “The tourism operators of Nepal are warning international travellers not to jump to conclusions over damage.”

“The popular tourist areas have escaped the brunt of the damage of the recent earthquake,” the release read, “The Kathmandu Valley is alive and kicking and striving to get back on its feet.” Despite damages seen in historical and cultural monuments, Nepal is still able to welcome tourists, claimed the Association.

Consult with your local partners, operators, Government authorities and locals about the situation in the ground before cancelling or postponing or booking a new trip to Nepal. We know some guests who would love to travel to Nepal assuming that their tourism money could be used for rebuilding the nation. Timing is everything. So please check for exact situation analysis. If you don’t have enough contacts, check for crowd-sourced information that’s being regularly updated by Kathmandu Living Labs . It’s not a tourism website, it’s rather a situation analysis about various relief work, devastation scale, support needed and delivered.
