Clear policy stressed for rural tourism

Lalitpur: Need of a clear policy for development of rural tourism has been stressed.

The need was pointed out at the three-day national conference on development of rural tourism here on Wednesday. It is essential to generate employment and income in the rural parts of the country, the participants said.

Participants of the conference organised by Lalitpur Chamber of Commerce and Industry and National Productivity and Economic Development Centre Limited also felt that a lack of clear policy had hindered development of the tourism industry in Nepal, despite abundant possibilities for it.

Speaking at the programme, Industry Secretary Uma Kanta Jha said awareness programmes would also help develop tourism in the rural parts of the country.
