Problems faced by tourist guides will be resolved: Tourism Minister Pandey

Kathmandu: Minister for Culture, Tourism and Civil Aviation, Badri Prasad Pandey, has said the government would resolve the problems of tourist guides.

Inaugurating the Ninth National Tourist Guide Conference organised by the Tourist Guide Association of Nepal today, Minister Pandey shared that the problems of tourist guides would be resolved based on priority. He further said tourist guides are a pillar of the development of the tourism sector of Nepal, stating that the tourist guides not only show the path to tourists, but also show the path of the country’s tourism sector.

‘Guiding the tourists is also our duty. You (tourist guide) will fulfil your duty diligently. I, as the tourism minister, assure you that the government will address your demands,’ mentioned the Minister. He stressed that the Association should expand its services in all seven provinces.

Likewise, Association President Thaneshwor Devkota stated that action should be taken against those tourist guides providing their service without acquiring a license.

The tourist guides have been working as envoys to disseminate the positive message of Nepal to foreign tourists visiting Nepal, he added. More than 5,000 tourist guides across the country have a license.
