International arrivals to Nepal grew 20% year-on-year in July according to statistics from the Nepal Tourism Board (NTB). In terms of arrivals growth, Asia was the fastest growing region, up 56.6% on July 2010. China and Thailand emerged as key growth markets, posting growth of 127.7% and 107.1% respectively. However, South Asia still dominates the market in terms of shear numbers, with Sri Lankan and Pakistani travellers showing increased interest in Nepal as visitor numbers jumped by 58% and 70.8%. Generally speaking, the west showed very moderate growth in comparison, though New Zealand bucked the trend by posting arrivals growth of 107.7%.Officials of the Nepal Tourism Year 2011 (NTY 2011) Programme Implementation Committee claim to have successfully carried out many promotional activities over the first six months of the year. But many within the industry say the effects are not being felt. Prachanda Man Shrestha, CEO of Nepal Tourism Board responded, saying; “The impact of these programmes cannot be felt overnight. But these campaigns have disseminated positive message about Nepal.”
