The announcement on 15 October followed inspections of airports in western Nepal and aims to assess infrastructure requirements, operating capacity and ways to improve regional air services. Hotels, accommodation providers and travel operators require demand forecasting, revenue-management systems and efficient booking operations to prepare for changing visitor flows.
