The yearbook will not only showcase the achievements of the past year but also chart a course for the future, emphasizing innovation and excellence in hospitality.
Promoting Culinary Heritage
As part of its effort to spotlight Nepal’s rich cultural traditions, HAN will organize a unique culinary showcase featuring traditional cuisines from all seven provinces. Guests will have the opportunity to savor regional delicacies that reflect Nepal’s diverse food culture. This initiative aims to elevate Nepal’s culinary heritage as a vital attraction for international tourists.

Exhibitions and Recognitions
Adding further vibrancy to the celebrations, the event will feature exhibition stalls sponsored by leading organizations in the tourism and hospitality sectors. These stalls will display innovative practices, products, and services aimed at enhancing the visitor experience in Nepal.
In a bid to honor excellence, HAN will also present awards to individuals who have made remarkable contributions to Nepal’s tourism industry. Sponsors of the event will be recognized for their support, reflecting HAN’s commitment to collaboration and partnership in driving the industry forward.
HAN’s Annual General Meeting
On the same day, HAN will conduct its annual general meeting, bringing together representatives from across the country. This meeting will serve as a platform for industry stakeholders to discuss pressing issues, share ideas, and foster partnerships aimed at strengthening Nepal’s position as a global tourism hub.
A Vision for the Future
With Nepal Hospitality Day 2025, HAN aims to not only celebrate the achievements of the hospitality sector but also to create a roadmap for sustained growth. By addressing the sector’s challenges and leveraging opportunities, the event aspires to solidify Nepal’s reputation as a premier global destination for travelers.
