From a Small Gathering to an Annual Industry Platform
The journey of the Sales Meet began on August 31, 2022, at Hotel Satkar & Spa, when hotel and resort sales professionals came together for their first informal gathering. What began as a small initiative aimed at bringing sales professionals together has gradually developed into a platform centered on togetherness, unity, networking, business exchange, and growth.
Following the initial gathering, HSMAN continued the initiative through regular Sales Meet events. The First Sales Meet was held on September 19, 2022, at Tapes Resort, Budhanilkantha. The event brought sales professionals together to strengthen relationships, exchange business opportunities, and build a stronger professional network.
The Second Sales Meet was held on September 20, 2023, again at Tapes Resort, Budhanilkantha, continuing the focus on networking, collaboration and business growth.
The Third Sales Meet took place on September 20, 2024, in Chitlang, Makwanpur, offering hospitality sales professionals another opportunity to connect outside the conventional business environment while strengthening professional relationships.
The Fourth Sales Meet was organized on July 4, 2025, at Best Western Plus Kathmandu, further expanding the platform and bringing together professionals from across the hospitality sector.
HSMAN Expands Focus Beyond Sales Meets
HSMAN’s activities have not been limited to networking events. The association has also emphasized social responsibility and professional development. As part of this commitment, a blood donation program was successfully organized on February 8, 2026, at Crystal Pashupati, Gaushala.
The initiative reflects the association’s broader objective of creating a professional community that contributes not only to business development but also to society.
Focus on Learning, Collaboration and Professional Development
Looking ahead, HSMAN plans to expand its activities beyond the annual Sales Meet. The association aims to create additional opportunities for learning, networking, collaboration and professional development for individuals working across Nepal’s hospitality and tourism sectors.
Among its future priorities is the organization of a Tourism Meet that would bring together hotels, resorts, travel agencies and other tourism stakeholders on a common platform. HSMAN also plans to conduct regular training and skill-development programs for sales and marketing professionals.
The association intends to work with other hospitality and tourism associations to organize joint programs, workshops, networking sessions and knowledge-sharing activities. It also plans to create additional opportunities for B2B networking and business exchange, while bringing younger hospitality professionals into its network and supporting their career development.
Building a Stronger Hospitality and Tourism Network
HSMAN envisions becoming a platform where hospitality professionals can build meaningful professional relationships, businesses can identify new opportunities, knowledge can be exchanged, and the broader tourism and hospitality industry can move forward collectively.
The association has emphasized the values of Togetherness, Unity, Networking, Learning and Business Growth as the foundation of its ongoing journey. With the fifth edition approaching, the Sales Meet 2026 is expected to further strengthen connections among Nepal’s hospitality sales and marketing community and create new opportunities for collaboration across the tourism industry.
