They highlight that while some areas are affected, the majority of Nepal remains open to visitors, including key regions like Kathmandu Valley and Pokhara.
The letter calls for responsible travel to these unaffected destinations to support the livelihoods of those dependent on tourism. They propose two actions: contributing to the Nepal Tourism Recovery Fund and ensuring accurate information in travel advisories. The letter stresses the significance of relying on verified sources for updates. Reliable information can be found through the Nepal Tourism Board and PATA Nepal Chapter’s websites.
