“During the peak season, finding a hotel room is a harrowing experience. With the opening up of new hotels, tourists will not face this problem anymore,” said Rijal.
Talking to Republica, Vice President of the Western Regional Hotel Association Nepal Bharat Raj Parajuli informed that at least 15 new hotels are being built in Pokhara every year.
“Unlike the past, most of the banks are willing to offer loans to tourism entrepreneurs. This has encouraged many locals in this sector,” said Parajuli.
Likewise, Chairperson of Pokhara Tourism Council Surya Bahadur Bhujel said many people are willing to invest in the tourism sector.
