As part of the ongoing annual activities of the Embassy of Nepal in Germany in connection to commemorate the Golden Jubilee Anniversary of the establishment of formal diplomatic relations between Nepal and Germany, the Embassy in cooperation with the Honorary Consulate of Nepal in Frankfurt, organised an interactive luncheon programme on the theme of Nepal's tourism potentials in the light of political and security transformation in Nepal at the Frankfurt Press Club in Frankfurt on 9th of July 2008. About forty travel/tour operators, travel writers, Airlines representatives and journalists were present during the occasion. Ambassador of Nepal to Germany Dr. Madan Kumar Bhattarai welcomed the participants and dwelt on extremely cordial and excellent relations so happily existing between Nepal and Germany.

The Government of Nepal and the Nepal Tourism Board (NTB) in partnership with Non-Resident Nepali (NRN) have launched a program entitled “Send Home a Friend”. The scheme encourages overseas Nepalis to persuade their friends, colleagues, relatives and acquaintances to visit Nepal and do their bit to increase tourist arrivals in the home country.

“We plan to extend this program to all countries where Nepali diplomatic missions are present. In addition to NRNs, we are also cooperating with Nepali embassies to enhances the effect,” said Diwakar B Rana Magar, tourism marketing and promotion.

“We also plan to broaden this program to every country where the NTB holds an event. For example, we started this program in Bangladesh during the NTB conference,” he added.

“Send Home a Friend’ was introduced on October 15, 2007 at the Non-Resident Nepali Conference in Kathmandu, and held its international launch in November 2007. “However, it wasn’t until January 2008 that we could hold the formal inauguration in collaboration with the Nepal Government,” said Rana.

The program is the first of its kind involving NRNs and the Nepal Government to promote tourism. It seeks to make the most Nepali diasporas for promoting tourism in Nepal. NRNs can work in partnership with the Nepal Government and the NTB and contribute to the national economy by promoting one of the biggest potentials of the country tourism.

A 76-year-old Nepalese man has become the oldest person to climb Mount Everest, according to officials.

A tourism ministry spokesman said Bahadur Sherchan reached the summit on Sunday morning in good health and was set to return to base camp on Monday.

Climbers have been flocking to the mountain since ascents were temporarily halted because of security concerns over the Olympic torch relay.

On Thursday, a record 86 mountaineers reached the 8,850m (29,035ft) summit.

Good weather has also meant favourable climbing conditions.

Also on Thursday, another Nepalese man, 47-year-old Appa Sherpa, broke his own record for the most ascents after climbing the mountain for the 18th time.
