Nepal participates GITF in China

The Nepal Tourism Board along with Saathi Travel and Tours, Nepal Dream, My Nepal, Asian Holidays, C+K Travel and China Southern Airlines participated in the three-day Guangzhou International Travel Fair (GITF) held in Guangzhou from April 4 to 6, 2008. Over 5,000 people visited the stand over the three-day period, a record for NTB and Nepal in China.
GITF is one of the most important tourism fairs in Asia-Pacific with the participation of more than 600 exhibitors from 40 countries and regions, including leading travel agencies, hotels, resorts, airlines, cruise ships, travel education and training companies, tourism-related corporations, tourism media, network companies and E-commerce enterprises.

It is an ideal business-to-business and business-to-consumer travel platform offering the perfect opportunity to introduce the latest Nepal tourism products to the Chinese market. Indeed, Guangdong Province is the richest province in China and it is also the no 1 in the country for outbound tourism. The participation of NTB to GITF 2008 is expected to further widen the perspectives for a larger number of Chinese tourists to visit Nepal in the years ahead especially now that China Southern has direct flight connections between Guangzhou and Kathmandu (three flights weekly).

Prominent media turned up at the show and their questions were thoroughly addressed to provide specific and accurate information concerning Nepal. CD-ROMS in Chinese language, souvenirs and promotional materials in Chinese and English were also distributed.

NTB was represented by Mrs. Ranu Shah and B&B International, NTB Marketing and PR Representative in China.
