Nepal’s tourism industry has suffered a severe setback following the recent wave of protests.
According to international media reports, tourist arrivals have dropped by nearly 30 percent amid the ongoing unrest. The decline is particularly significant as this period normally marks a peak season for visitors, especially those traveling for mountain trekking.
Reports further highlight that in Kathmandu’s bustling Thamel tourist district, shops and restaurants have been left deserted due to the instability.
The violent demonstrations in Nepal have already claimed 72 lives, while more than 2,000 others have been injured.
