There’s a new rainbow rising over Nepal. This is Sandip Roy in Kathmandu. The Himalayan country has always been known for tourism – Mountains forests old capital cities and Buddhist stupas. As Nandini Lahe-Thapa, the officiating CEO of Nepal Tourism Board puts it Nepal has three-in-one appeal. NLT1: Speaker1: The nature, culture and adventure products. And out of the pristine natural treasures and socio cultural unity and diversity. Nepal has both comparative and competitive advantage over many other destinations, with so much variety and so little landmass. It draws trekkers, adventure tourists, families, honeymooners, senior tour groups. Now it wants LGBTI tourists. At the first ever Rainbow Tourism International conference in Kathmandu last week attended by ministers, activists, tourism operators, even a Supreme Court judge, Nepal Tourist board director Lahe-Thapa even wore a bright pink sari to signal that Nepal wants to roll out the pink carpet.
