As Nepal has been receiving a good number of visitors from China and India, the country is planning to  waive off visa fees for Chinese tourists for the year 2011. The government hopes this will help them  achieve NTY 2011’s target of  bringing in 1 million tourists to Nepal.

At the 18th National Convention of Nepal Association of Tour and Travel Agents (NATTA) held in Kathmandu, Minister of Tourism and Civil Aviation Mr. Sharat Singh Bhandari stated that efforts  were on to offer free visa entry facility to the Chinese tourists.
