  • Entrepreneurs cited slow work styles and unproductive activities as reasons.

Private investors and entrepreneurs operating within the tourism sector have initiated plans to establish a brand new federation. According to reports, this upcoming body is intended to actively counter the Nepal Tourism Board, reflecting deep-seated discontent among business owners regarding the current administrative framework governing the industry. Those driving the initiative have expressed severe frustration with the existing institutional setup. Specifically, stakeholders point to a notably slow work style and what they describe as unproductive activities currently characterizing the established statutory board, prompting the need for alternative representation for commercial interests in Kathmandu. The ongoing friction highlights growing divides within the wider travel and hospitality community. Industry participants feel that the current mechanisms fail to serve their needs adequately, leading to the collective push for a completely separate organization designed to challenge the prevailing establishment directly.
