The Nepal Association of Tour and Travel Agents (NATTA) held an interaction meeting with Sabre Nepal on October 27, 2026, at the NATTA Secretariat to explore opportunities for collaboration and strengthen cooperation in Nepal’s travel and tourism sector. The meeting focused on travel technology, industry engagement and potential partnerships to support travel businesses in an increasingly digital tourism marketplace.
NATTA and Sabre Nepal Representatives Attend Meeting
The meeting was attended by NATTA Senior Vice President Sunil Sharma, Vice President Sabita K.C. Bhattarai, Secretary General Raj Kumar Devkota and other members of the NATTA Board. Representing Sabre Nepal, Rabiya Koithali and Suraj Tamang participated in the interaction. The meeting provided a platform for representatives of both organisations to exchange perspectives on the needs and priorities of Nepal’s travel trade. The discussion also reflected their interest in strengthening professional relationships and identifying areas of mutual cooperation.
Travel Technology and Industry Engagement
Travel technology was among the key areas discussed during the interaction. Digital systems play an increasingly important role in travel agency operations, including reservations, access to travel information and customer service. Effective technology solutions can help travel businesses improve operational efficiency and respond to changing customer expectations. The discussion highlighted the importance of regular engagement between technology providers and travel industry stakeholders. Such interactions can help travel agents stay informed about technological developments, share practical experiences and explore ways to improve services in a competitive travel market.
Exploring Opportunities for Cooperation
The interaction focused on identifying potential areas of collaboration between NATTA and Sabre Nepal. Maintaining communication and building stronger professional ties between travel trade associations and technology companies can create opportunities for knowledge-sharing and industry engagement. However, the information released about the meeting did not specify any formal agreement, new programme or concrete initiative resulting from the discussion. The interaction primarily served as an opportunity for both organisations to exchange views and explore possibilities for future cooperation.
Supporting Nepal’s Travel and Tourism Sector
NATTA represents the interests of Nepal’s tour and travel agents, while Sabre provides technology solutions for the global travel industry. Greater engagement between travel associations and technology providers can help businesses explore digital tools, strengthen their operational capabilities and adapt to evolving industry requirements.
The October 27 interaction represents an effort to strengthen connections between Nepal’s travel trade and the technology sector. Continued dialogue and practical cooperation could support service improvement, digital adoption and the long-term development of Nepal’s travel and tourism industry.
