This campaign Visit Nepal 2020 should affect and promote all parts of the nation. Not only the Everest, Annapurna and Langtang Region, there are various regions in Nepal that are accessible for tourism activities. Various destinations are also suitable for Nepal tour trekking, overland tour, peak climbing and various other activities but still there is no proper promotion of those destinations. Mountain flights, Everest Helicopter tour, Spiritual tourism, Photography tourism and many other forms of tourism and adventurous activities should be promoted with the promotion of Visit Nepal 2020. The Nepal government, all concerned parties as well as every Nepalese citizen should support Visit Nepal 2020 campaign from their side realizing the old slogan “Atithi Devo Bhawa”.
