Nepal tourism campaigns ‘Visit Lumbini Year (VLY) 2012’ and ‘Tourism Vision 2020’ will be inaugurated by President Ram Baran Yadav at a special program in Lumbini on 14th January 2012. While the chief objective of ‘Visit Lumbini Year 2012’ is to promote Lumbini as the birthplace of Lord Buddha and to spread Buddha’s message of peace and brotherhood in the global community, ‘Tourism Vision 2020’ has been charted to improve the economic condition of the people through tourism. The formal closure of Nepal Tourism Year 2011 (NTY-2011) will also be announced during the program.
