The Nepal Tourism Board (NTB) has been continuing activities to facilitate the related agencies and rescue the foreign tourists stranded in different parts of the country with the enforcement of prohibitory orders to contain coronavirus. The NTB formed a disaster management and communication cell and intensified the works on tourists' rescue.
Even the Indian tourists' hotel quarantine has been managed and facilitated for their monitoring as per Nepal-India Air Bubble Agreement.
Information about the foreign nationals is collected via 'travel locator'. Online forms are filled with the information about foreign nationals and the area they visited. The information is then forwarded to the relevant embassies once they demand, said Director at NTB, Mani Lamichhane. After finding the location/area the tourists are, other related agencies are informed.
So far 448 foreign nationals have been registered in the travel locator. Among them, the 82 are US, 58 Indian, 37 Russian, 29 British, 27 German, 22 Ukraini, 19 Pakistani, 14 Bangladeshi. Similarly, 14 are Spanish, 12 Swiss, nine Canadian, seven Dutch, six Romanian, five Slovakian, four Belarusians, and two each from Australia and Japan.
