Over the years, the company has expanded its services beyond just payment solutions, contributing to various sectors, including the tourism industry. As part of its continuous growth, eSewa has successfully extended its agent network to all 753 local bodies across 77 districts in Nepal, ensuring that the service reaches even the most remote areas of the country.

eSewa’s Impact on Nepal’s Tourism Industry

Over time, eSewa has become an integral part of daily life for millions of Nepalis, providing payment solutions for a wide range of services. From utility payments to mobile recharges, eSewa has made life more convenient for users. Notably, the platform has also made its mark in the travel and tourism industry, offering easy and accessible payment options for services such as bus tickets, national and international air tickets, and even cable car tickets.

In this context, eSewa is playing a pivotal role in the development of Nepal’s tourism sector by providing a seamless and user-friendly platform for tourists and locals alike.

eSewa Hotels: A Convenient Digital Service for Hotel Booking

In line with its commitment to expanding service offerings, eSewa recently launched eSewa Hotels, a digital service that allows users to easily book hotels in Nepal. Whether it’s a star hotel in the city or a homestay in rural areas, eSewa Hotels offers a wide range of options to suit various needs. With over 3500 hotels available across more than 54 districts, users can now book accommodations directly through the eSewa App or the eSewa Hotels website.

Flexible Booking and Cancellation Policies for User Comfort

One of the standout features of eSewa Hotels is its flexible booking system. Users can book hotels in any city without requiring advance payment, and bookings can be easily canceled according to the user’s needs. This customer-centric approach ensures that travelers can make reservations without the usual hassles and financial concerns associated with hotel bookings.

Empowering Small and Medium Hoteliers with USAID Partnership

To further support the tourism sector, eSewa Hotels has collaborated with USAID Trade and Competitiveness to bring homestays in rural areas into the digital fold. This collaboration has provided essential technical support to small and medium-sized hotels and homestays, empowering them economically and enhancing their business operations. The initiative is promoting sustainable tourism by encouraging the development of hotels and homestays in rural areas, which in turn supports the overall growth of the tourism industry.

With the assistance of USAID, eSewa Hotels is playing a critical role in fostering economic inclusion and small business growth, particularly in Nepal’s rural regions.

eSewa’s Role in Nepal’s Economic and Digital Transformation

Through the eSewa Hotels service, eSewa continues to contribute significantly to the convenience of travelers, the growth of the tourism sector, and the economic progress of small and medium hotel owners. For small hoteliers, the partnership with eSewa Hotels has become a cornerstone for business growth and a source of inclusion in Nepal’s broader digital transformation.

As eSewa continues to innovate and expand its services, the company remains at the forefront of Nepal’s digital revolution, enhancing both the tourism experience and the economic opportunities available to local businesses across the country.
