Organised by the PATA Nepal Chapter in collaboration with the Nepal Tourism Board, Nepal Airlines, and private-sector partners, the event provided a platform to explore opportunities, foster international partnerships, and shape the future of Nepal\u2019s tourism.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cHTM continues to serve as a catalyst for tourism growth, regional cooperation, and international market connectivity,\u201d said PATA Nepal Chapter Chair Khem Lakai. The theme \u2018New Frontiers in Tourism\u2019 reflects our collective ambition to embrace innovation, diversify tourism offerings, and create meaningful travel experiences for future generations.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The B2B Mart remained the cornerstone of HTM 2026, facilitating productive business interactions between international buyers and tourism suppliers from Nepal and other destinations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The sessions, held on 3 and 4 June, brought together 75 international buyers and more than 80 exhibitors, resulting in over 2,400 pre-scheduled business appointments and the creation of significant new tourism partnerships.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
